Is It Bid’ah to Recite Surah Al-Mulk, As-Sajdah, and Al-Baqarah After Isha Prayer?

Reciting Surah Al-Mulk, As-Sajdah, and Al-Baqarah After Isha: Is It Bid’ah or Acceptable?

Question: If someone recites Surah Al-Mulk, Surah As-Sajdah, and the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah after Isha prayer instead of at bedtime, is this considered an innovation (bid’ah)?

Answer: If someone recites Surah Al-Mulk, Surah As-Sajdah, and the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah after the Isha prayer, it is sufficient and not considered an innovation (bid’ah). There is no reason to label this practice as bid’ah. However, it is better and more preferable to recite the bedtime supplications when you intend to sleep and lie down in bed.
