Summary
It is not disliked to mention a surah by its name directly, such as surah al-Baqarah, surah Ali Imran or surah al-Maidah. The view that it is disliked came from some early scholars who preferred saying the surah in which al-Baqarah is mentioned. The fatwa follows the majority of early and later scholars who permit it, based on many hadiths and Companion statements that name surahs directly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, pendapat yang sahih ialah harus untuk disebut surah al-Baqarah, surah Ali Imran, surah al-Nisa', surah al-Maidah dan begitulah seterusnya bagi baki surah-surah yang lain serta tidak makruh berbuat demikian.
