Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The imam of our mosque sometimes reads in the Fajr prayer, in the first rak'ah, from the middle of Surat al-Baqarah, and in the second rak'ah from the end of the surah. Is his action valid?
Answer:
It is valid; the validity is correct. However, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that what is read from the middle or end of a surah, one should start from its beginning. One should start the surah from its beginning and read whatever is easy for him from it; that is better than picking out pieces from the surah, taking from its middle, or from its end. Yes.
