Summary
Authentic hadiths show that the Prophet SAW recited Surah al-A'la and al-Ghashiyah, or Surah al-Jumu'ah and al-Munafiqun, in the Friday prayer. The view adopted is that it is recommended for the imam to recite these surahs occasionally, since the Prophet SAW did not recite them every week. The imam may also recite other surahs so that people do not regard it as obligatory, and the choice depends on the imam's understanding of fiqh and consideration for the congregation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam isu ini, kami berpandangan bahawa sunat bagi imam sesekali untuk membaca surah-surah ini di dalam solat Jumaat.
