The Shaykh : Yes, if a person does not know how to recite from the Book of Allah except one surah, there is no blame on him for repeating it in all the prayers after al-Fatihah, due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the man: Sahih Muslim 397a . Yes.
