Reciting surahs out of sequence in salaah

Q: My question is regarding the order of recition of Surah's in namaz. We are students and I was the imaam for fajr. In first rakat, after Surah Faatihah, I recited Surah Nasr and in the second rakat, after Surah Faatihah I recited the first 3 verses of Surah Mulk. Was the namaz totally wrong and needed to be offered again?

A: It is makrooh, but the namaaz is valid. There is no need to repeat it.

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