Reciting the same surah in both rakaats of a fardh salaah
Question
Can I read the same surah in both rakats of a farz salah? For example someone reads surah fatihah and surah ikhlaas in the first 2 rakats of zuhr farz.
Answer
To recite the same surah in both the rakaats is makrooh, though the salaah will be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
