Reciting the Short Surahs of al-Mufassal in the Fajr Prayer and Lightening the Burden on the Congregation

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it among the prescribed lightening of the burden on the congregation for the imam to recite the short surahs of al-Mufassal in the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
No, this is not laziness; it is a concession for the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam). This is laziness: to recite a long recitation in the Fajr prayer, because Allah named it "the Qur'an." He, Exalted and Majestic is He, said: "And the Qur'an of the Fajr." He named the Fajr prayer "the Qur'an" because the recitation in it is long, and this does not burden the ma'mum. Yes, the recitation of some of the overly strict people who focus on elongation (madd), nasalization (ghunnah), and assimilation (idgham) may burden the ma'mum, but if he recites a moderate, easy recitation, it does not burden the ma'mum. Yes.
