Makrooh to Skip Surah in 1st Rakaat?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it makrooh to recite a Surah in the 1st rakaat and then skip a Surah and recite the next Surah in the second rakaat?

Bismillaah

A: In nafl Salaah, it is permissible for one to omit one Surah in between two Surahs. However, in fardh Salaah, if one intentionally omits one surah between two surahs, it will be makrooh, except in the case where the surah omitted is considerably longer than the surah before it. In that case, it will be permissible to omit one surah. Hence, for example, you should not read surah Nasr in the first rakaat and surah Iklaas in the second rakaat of a fardh Salaah.

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

ويكره الفصل بسورة قصيرة وأن يقرأ منكوسا إلا إذا ختم فيقرأ من البقرة وفي القنية قرأ في الأولى الكافرون وفي الثانية ألم تر أو تبت ثم ذكر يتم وقيل يقطع ويبدأ ولا يكره في النفل شيء من ذلك (الدر المختار 1/ 546-547)

و يكره فصله بسورة بين سورتين قرأهما في ركعتين  لما فيه من شبهة التفضيل والهجر وقال بعضهم لا يكره إذا كانت السورة طويلة كما لو كان بينهما سورتان قصيرتان (مراقي الفلاح صـ 352)
