The ruling on frequently reciting Surat al-Kafirun in voluntary prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This young man is Egyptian and resides in the Kingdom. He says in this question: I love to recite Surat al-Kafirun constantly, especially in the voluntary prayer or the Duha prayer, but not always, rather in most cases; because when I recite it, I feel faith and disavowal of disbelief. Is this permissible or not?

Answer:
There is no harm, praise be to Allah, you may recite it whenever you wish, praise be to Allah. I say: you may recite it whenever you wish, and praise be to Allah. It is one of the two chapters of al-Ikhlas. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[al-Ikhlas:1] in the voluntary prayer before Fajr, in the voluntary prayer after Maghrib, and in the voluntary prayer of tawaf. He used to recite them—(peace and blessings be upon him)—
Say: O you disbelievers!قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ
[al-Kafirun:1] in the first unit, and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[al-Ikhlas:1] in the second unit after al-Fatihah. So it is a great chapter, and if you recite it frequently, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
