Qira'at (reciting the Surah Al - Hamd and other Surah)

987. In the daily obligatory prayers, one should recite Surah Al - Hamd and other complete Surah in the first and second Rak’ats. The Surah Az – Zuha and Surah Inshirah are treated as one Surah in Namaz, and so are the Surah Al – Fil and Quraysh.

988. If the time left for Namaz is little, or if a person has to helplessly abandon the Surah because of fear that a thief, a beast, or anything else may do him harm, he should not recite the other Surah.
