What should a person recite in the second rakaat if Surah Ikhlaas was recited in the first rakaat?
Question
If Surah Ikhlaas is mistakenly recited in the first Rakaat, what is the best Surah to then recite in the second Rakaat?
Answer
In a fard salaah recite surah falaq and in a nafil salaah you may recite surah falaq or surah naas.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
