Reading Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday when it is difficult for the congregation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it prescribed for the imam not to recite Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday, because some of the congregation cannot bear the length of the prayer with them?

Answer:
The one who cannot bear it should sit down. The ma'mum who cannot bear it sits down. The imam does not leave the sunnah (recommended practice), but if there is among the ma'mum someone for whom it is difficult, he sits down. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
