Q: I know that one should read longer Qiraat in the first rakat than the second rakat and that one should not skip an in-between Surah between rakats unless the rakat one skips is long. This applies to Fard salaah. My questions are:
1. What is meant by "long" Qiraat? Is this the number of lines or the number of ayaat?
2. Does the Qiraat have to get progressively shorter for the nafl and Sunnah rakats of Sunnat-e-Muakkadah and Sunnat-e-Ghair-Muakkadah as well?
3. Can you skip an in-between Surah in the Nafl and Sunnah salaah?
A:
1. It will be with huroof. The huroof are closer to lines.
2. Either shorter or equal.
3. Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
