Method of Salaah

Skipping one short surah in the qiraat of salaah

2 weeks ago By user2

Q: I recently found out when reading Salaah one should not skip one Surah between, e.g. during Magrib you should not read Surah Nasr and then Surah Ikhlaas. I know people skip two surahs, I’ve heard them read Surah Nasr and then Surah Falaq. So my question is, is it okay to skip if two or more surahs are skipped? 

My second question is if you are reading a long surah for example Surah Yaseen, is it okay to read the first 10 ayats in the first rakaat and then read from the 25th ayat to the 30ayat for the second rakaat? So basically skipping ayats and continuing? Is that allowed or is it Makrooh?

Reciting a surah after surah faatiha before going into ruku

Q: I was praying maghrib. After reciting Surah Faatiha in the first rakah I forgot to add another surah and was going for ruku. I opened my arms but just when I said "Alla-"(of Allah Akbar) I realised my mistake. I once again joined my arms and recited the second surah and did rest of the salaah normally. I did not do sajda sahw. Is my prayer valid? 

Also is sajda sahw valid for all mistakes in salaah or is it invalid if you missed fards of salah?
