Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on consistently reciting specific surahs in specific voluntary prayers, such as reciting Surah al-Masad and Surah al-Kafirun in the two rak'ahs of Fajr, for example? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no harm in consistently reciting a specific surah if he believes there is no objection to reciting others, but if he does so because he has memorized it or because it is easier for him, there is no harm in that. However, if he believes that reciting anything else is not permissible, then it is not permissible. As for if he does not recite it because it is easier for him to memorize or because it is short, there is no harm in that and no blame. The Prophet and he used to recite in the witr prayer Subh, al-Ghashiyah, and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (the last three of the final ones). He would recite Subh in the first of the last three, then al-Ghashiyah in the second, and then Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad in the third after al-Fatihah. There is no harm in any of this, and praise be to Allah. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

(peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the sunnah of Maghrib, the sunnah of Fajr, and the sunnah of tawaf, reciting in them Qul Ya Ayyuha al-Kafirun and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad. Likewise, he used to recite in the sunnah of Maghrib Qul Ya Ayyuha al-Kafirun and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad.
صلى الله عليه وسلم يقرأ في سنة المغرب، وفي سنة الفجر، سنة الطواف، يقرأ فيها قل يا أيها الكافرون، قل هو الله أحد، وهكذا كان يقرأ في سنة المغرب قل يا أيها الكافرون، قل هو الله أحد،
