Reciting al-Sajdah and al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it better to recite Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday, given that some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) say it is difficult for them due to their advanced age, or is it better to ease the burden by reciting shorter surahs?
Answer:
Reciting the two surahs in the Fajr prayer on Friday is a sunnah (recommended practice); it is mustahabb (recommended). If this is feasible, it is mustahabb, and there is great virtue in it. However, if it is difficult for the imam due to his advanced age or because he does not have the two surahs memorized completely, it is not wajib (obligatory) for him to do so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
