Fathwa, - Repeating certain Surahs during the Taraaweeh prayer- A religious view

Question
We often offer the Taraaweeh prayer according to the following form:
twenty Rak'as, in each two Rak'as the Imaam recites from Surah
At-Takaathur until Surah Al-Masad. Then, in the second one he recites
Surah Al-Ikhlaas. This form is being quickly repeated every night. Is
it considered an aspect of aprohibited specification?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
There is nothing wrong with repeating certain Surahs in each Rak'ah,
especially if it is for a specific purpose. For instance, if the
people experience hardship when the Imaam recites long Surahs or if he
only memorized these Surahs. 'Aa'ishah reported that the Prophet ,
appointed a man in charge of an army unit. He used to lead them in the
prayer and conclude his recitation with Surah Al-Ikhlaas. Upon their
return to Al-Medeenah, the Companions mentioned this case to the
Messenger of Allaah , who said: " Ask him why he does so?" The man was
asked and then he said, "This Surah contains the Attributes ofAllaah,
The Most Merciful, and I like to recite it. Then the Prophet , said:
"Tell him that Allaah Loves him ". [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim].
Imaam Ibn Al-'Arabi said: " This Hadeeth indicates the permissibility
of repeating a specific Surah in each Rak'ah ."
However, it is better for aMuslim to recite any of the Surahs of the
Quran he has memorized with no specification. Hence, itis the practice
of the righteous predecessors.
