Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
To the point that he.

The questioner:
In his recitation, he mixes up two surahs in one rak'ah.

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that, but it should not be burdensome for the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
So whoever leads the people in prayer should shorten it because among them there are the sickأم الناس فليخفف، فإن فيهم الكبير
Sahih al-Bukhari 90
and the sick person and the one in need. Yes.
