Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In fact, there are still questions from the previous section, Your Eminence the Shaykh. We ask your permission to raise them in the section on the time of the Maghrib prayer. So I say in this question: What are the surahs that it is recommended for a Muslim to recite in the Maghrib, O Shaykh?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows, the recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Maghrib prayer varied. Sometimes he recited two long surahs, such as al-A'raf, and he divided it between the two rak'ahs, which is al-A'raf. He recited al-Tur in it, and he used to recite al-Mursalat in it, as Am Hisham, the daughter of Harith ibn al-Nu'man, narrated. He also recited the short surahs separately. So the predominant Sunnah in it is to recite the short surahs and the prayer. Indeed, if he recited from some of the middle surahs of the final part of the Qur'an or from the long surahs in it at times, there is no harm. As for the entire Sunnah. Yes.

Answer:
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
