How to reconcile the established fact that the Maghrib prayer is recited with the short surahs of the final part of the Qur'an with the recitation of Surat al-A'raf and Surat al-Tur?

Question:
He asks: How do you reconcile the established fact that the Maghrib prayer is recited with the short surahs of the final part of the Qur'an with the established fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited in Maghrib with al-A'raf, al-Tur, and al-Mursalat?

Answer:
This happens at times, but the norm is that it is from the short surahs of the final part of the Qur'an. It is permissible to recite long surahs at times, provided it does not burden the congregation. If, as you heard, the congregation desires this, there is no harm. Yes.
