Reading the same surah after fatiha in each rakat

· 22 Safar 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it ok to read the same surah after fatiha in each rakat for example reading surah ikhlaas after fatiha in the 1st and 2nd rakat of any salah?

Answer

The namaaz will be valid but the sunnah is to read a different surah.

ويسن ( في الحضر ) لإمام ومنفرد ذكره الحلبي والناس عنه غافلون ( طوال المفصل ) من الحجرات الى آخر البروج ( في الفجر والظهر و ) منها الى آخر لم يكن ( أوساطه في العصر والعشاء و ) باقيه ( قصاره في المغرب ) أي في كل ركعة سورة مما ذكر ذكره الحلبي

قال الشامي في رد المحتار: أي من الطوال والأوساط والقصار ومقتضاه أنه لا نظر إلى مقدار معين من حيث عدد الآيات مع أنه ذكر في النهر أن القراءة من المفصل سنة والمقدار المعين سنة أخرى (رد المحتار 1/540)
