Reading a long surah over two rakaats in salaah
Question
When you want to read a big surah in salaah, but not in full. Is it okay to read from anywhere in the surah and stop anywhere? And can you read one part of a surah in the first rakaat, the part after that in the second rakaat? Or do you have to read different surahs in each rakaat?
Answer
It is permissible.
Both are permissible. The better thing is that there must be continuity in the topic that is discussed in the aayaat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
