Reciting Surahs in Order: Quranic Requirement or Personal Choice?

Answered by 

Q: Do we need to recite surahs in order as per the Quran Majeed?

If a person doesn’t know this ruling before and afterwards he comes to know it, he recites in order, what is the ruling on this?

Bismillaah

A: Yes

His past salaah will be valid. However, in the future he should recite the surahs in the correct sequence.

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