When we pray sunnat or nafil salat we know it may be better to read long surahs. But for me in the longer surahs there is more chances of making mistakes.
Question
For example I pray two nafil with small surahs like Surah Naas and Surah Falaq without any mistakes. But if I pray two nafil with Surah Rahman and Surah Waqia I feel I may be making some mistakes. Is my prayer with longer surahs with few mistakes in tilawat better then prayer with smaller surahs.

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Your Nafl Salaat with longer Surahs and making mistakes is more virtuous
than reciting shorter Surahs.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
