Darul Ifta Ibn Masood

Following sequence of Surahs in Salaah

· 2 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Whilst reciting Qiraat in Salaah (as females), one is required to recite according to the order of the Surahs in the Quraan Sharif. Does this refer only to the set of Rakaats one is performing (such as the 4 Fardh of Zuhr), or should a person recite in order for the entire Salaah (from the 4 Sunnats of Zuhr until one completes the 2 Nafl)?

Answer

Every Salaah (Fardh, Sunnah, Nafl, etc.) is performed independently. Hence, you are required to follow the sequence of the Surahs only in the Salaah that is being performed. In other words, you are not required to follow the sequence of Surahs from the four Rakaats Sunnah Salaah, which are performed before the Fardh Salaah, until the two Rakaats Nafl, which are performed last. We hope that the above explanation clarifies the issue.
