Question

Will it be makrooh if a person recites a few aayaat from the end of one surah in the first rakaat and recites a complete surah in the second rakaat of a fardh Salaah (e.g. the end of surah Baqarah in the first rakaat and surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat)?

Answer

It will not be makrooh.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
