What is prescribed to be recited in the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is prescribed to be recited in the Friday prayer? And is it permissible for him to recite what suits the sermon?

Answer:
He recites whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an, and it is better to recite in the first unit
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[Al-A'la 87:1]
, and in the second unit
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
[Al-Ghashiyah 88:1]
, and if he recites other than these, there is nothing wrong with it. As for his choosing verses that suit the sermon, this has no basis and no evidence for it. Or he recites Surat al-Jumu'ah, "Exalted is Allah to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, the King, the Pure, the Mighty, the Wise," and in the second unit Surat al-Munafiqun. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite these two surahs in the Friday prayer as well. Yes.
