Is prayer with Surat Al-Masad disliked (makruh) or forbidden (haram)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is sunnah for the worshipper to recite whatever is easy from the Quran after Al-Fatiha in prayer. Surah Al-Masad and other surahs of the Quran are included in this recommendation. The assertion that it is forbidden or disliked to recite it in prayer is incorrect, due to the generality of the hadiths that mention reciting the Quran after Al-Fatiha without exception.
