Ruling on Reciting Surat al-Masad in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q206: It is said that it is not permissible to recite Surat al-Masad in prayer. Is this correct, and why?
A206: This is not correct. It is permissible to recite al-Masad in prayer and elsewhere, as it is a surah of the Qur'an. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20] ,
and He did not specify a limit for what is to be recited in prayer; rather, the entire Qur'an is suitable to be recited in prayer, including Surat al-Masad and others.

So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌand He did not specify a limit for what is to be recited in prayer; rather, the entire Qur'an is suitable to be recited in prayer, including Surat al-Masad and others.
