The recommended practice of lengthening the recitation in the first two rak'ahs of the obligatory prayers

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Is lengthening the recitation in the first and second rak'ahs specific to the Dhuhr prayer, or does it apply to all prayers? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Lengthening the recitation in the first two rak'ahs of a four-rak'ah prayer or the Maghrib prayer is a recommended practice (sunnah), and the first rak'ah is lengthened more than the second. This is how the Sunnah was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the general rule, but at times it is recommended to recite from the long surahs of al-Mufassal, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah al-Tur in the Maghrib, and he also recited Surah al-Mursalat in the Maghrib, and he also recited Surah al-A'raf in the Maghrib. So at times one recites from the long surahs in the Maghrib, but the general rule is that one recites from the short surahs of al-Mufassal. Yes.
