Is it permissible to restrict oneself to Surat Al-Ikhlas in prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The primary and preferable approach is not to repeat the same in a single prayer, as this aligns more with the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, if one does so, there is no harm in it, for it is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited Surah Al-Zalzalah in both rak'ahs of the Fajr prayer.
