The ruling on repeating the recitation of short surahs in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please. A question. May you live long, a question. I am not a memorizer of the Qur'an; I do not memorize anything except short surahs, and I am confused about what to read in prayer. I read the Mu'awwidhat: "Say, He is Allah," "I seek refuge with the Lord of the Daybreak," and "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind." I mean, I always repeat them in prayer. Okay, thank you.
Answer:
Yes. The obligatory recitation is the recitation of al-Fatihah. As for reciting something other than al-Fatihah after it, that is a recommended practice (sunnah), and one reads whatever is easy for him. He said, Exalted and Majestic is He:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20] So you read whatever is easy for you and whatever you have memorized. Even if you repeat certain surahs, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
