Obtaining the virtue of reciting Surah Sajdah and Surah Dahr in the Fajr Salaah on a Friday

Q: With regards to Friday Fajr salaah: If I read Surah Sajdah in 2 rakaats one week, and the next week read Surah Dahr in 2 rakaats, will I get the fadheelat of the sunnah? Because the musallees are old, and they do not like to read long salaah. For this reason, can I get the reward for the sunnah?

If there's no sunnah reward for this, then how can I get the sunnah reward?

A: The sunnah is to recite Surah Sajdah in the first rakaat and Surah Dahr in the second rakaat. If you recite Surah Sajdah over two rakaats, then this is not the sunnah. If the people are finding it difficult, then you should recite some other surahs.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
