Reciting one Aayat in Salaah

Q: If one has many years of Qadha salah can one read one ayah per rakah, eg. the starting ayaats of Surah Baqarah, is it sufficient to recite 1 ayah which runs into 1 or 1.5 lines?

A: If the aayat had 30 huroof or more, then one can suffice on reciting one aayat. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2212

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