Is it permissible for the imam to recite the Qur'an from its beginning to its end in the loud prayers, meaning he starts with Surat al-Baqarah and ends with Surat al-Nas, like in Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for the imam to recite the Qur'an from its beginning to its end in the loud prayers, meaning he starts with Surat al-Baqarah and ends with Surat al-Nas, like in Ramadan, but he does not complete a full recitation like in Ramadan, rather he is content with reciting the Qur'an in the loud prayers? Is there anything wrong with that?

The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with this, provided the one doing it does not believe that it is a prescribed matter, due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an فاقرؤوا ما تيسر من القرآن
[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]
and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
and then recite whatever you conveniently can from the Qur'an ثم اقرأ ما تيسر معك من القرآن
Sahih Muslim 397a
Many imams do this, saying: "Because I love for the entire Qur'an to pass through the ears of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam)." So if a person does not believe that this is from the Sunnah, there is no blame on him for reciting whatever he wishes from the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
