What is the legal ruling for intentionally not reciting anything from the Holy Quran after Al-Fatiha in the second rak'ah of the Maghrib prayer?
Intentionally omitting the recitation after Al-Fatihah in the first and second rak'ahs is disliked (makruh). It involves intentionally abandoning a Sunnah according to the majority of scholars. Prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) is not prescribed to compensate for this, because prostration of forgetfulness is legislated to compensate for unintentional errors, not intentional ones.
