Question
If someone reads short surahs in prayer and does not memorize their order, is it permissible to read 'An-Nas' in the first rak'ah and 'Al-Kursi' in the second?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is disliked to read in reverse order during prayer, which means reading from an earlier Surah after reading from a later Surah in prayer, even in the second unit of prayer. And God knows best.
