Reading Two Short Surahs in Prayer

Question

What should I do if I prayed and recited Surah Al-Fatiha and two short Surahs? Should I repeat my prayer or not?

Answer 1

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):

There is no issue in reciting some verses as part of the Quran after reciting Al-Fatiha and a complete Surah in daily obligatory prayers. Additionally, the Surahs (Al-Fil) and (Li-Ilaf) are considered as one Surah, so it is not sufficient to recite just one of them after Al-Fatiha. The same applies to the Surahs (Ad-Duha) and (Alam Nashrah). If someone recited Surah (Al-Fil) or (Alam Nashrah) alone, unaware of the ruling, and they were not negligent in learning this matter, their previous prayers are considered valid.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):

It is permissible to combine two Surahs in prayer - that is, to recite more than one Surah in a single Rak'ah - but it is disliked in obligatory prayers. However, it is not disliked to combine between Surahs (Al-Fil) and (Li-Ilaf) as well as between Surahs (Ad-Duha) and (Alam Nashrah). It is preferable to not suffice with just one of them and to recite both in order with the Bismillah between them.
