Is it permissible to recite some verses from Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Dahr in the Fajr prayer on Friday?

The questioner : Is it permissible to recite some verses from Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Dahr in the Fajr prayer on Friday?

The Shaykh : As for the validity of the prayer, it is valid if one recites only Surat al-Fatihah. However, the recommended practice (sunnah) is not achieved unless one recites Surat al-Sajdah in its entirety in the first rak'ah, and Surat al-Dahr in its entirety in the other rak'ah.
In fact, I will say something: Intentionally reciting a portion of Surat al-Sajdah on the assumption that Surat al-Sajdah was prescribed to be recited in the Fajr prayer on Friday because it contains a prostration (sujud); this would be an innovation in matters of religion. That is, it is not permissible for a person to intentionally recite the section containing the prostration. Even if, for example, he divided the surah between two rak'ahs and thus necessarily included the prostration, this intention is not permissible. This is because we do not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat al-Sajdah because it contains a prostration. Rather, the most likely view, as stated by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah and others, is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this surah and that one because of what they contain regarding the reminder of the Hereafter, the resurrection, and the raising of the dead, and the like.
Therefore, the imam should either perform the recommended practice (sunnah) in its entirety; that is, recite each surah in its respective rak'ah, or recite whatever is easy from the Qur'an after Surat al-Fatihah. The matter is broad, as we have said. If he recites only Surat al-Fatihah, his prayer is valid. However, if the intention is to perform the recommended practice (sunnah), the recommended practice is to recite the two well-known surahs.
