Reciting Surat al-A'raf in its entirety in the Maghrib prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, is reciting Surat al-A'raf in its entirety too difficult for everyone?

The Shaykh:
In the two rak'ahs.

The questioner:
In the two rak'ahs.

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided it between the two rak'ahs, but this is rare. It appears that it was not recorded of him (peace and blessings be upon him) except once, to demonstrate the permissibility.
