Reciting Ayat-ul-Sujud then performing the Ruku` without continuing the recitation of the Ayah

Q 2: What is the ruling on the Salah (Prayer) of an Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) who recites one of Ayat-ul-Sujud (Qur’anic verses of Prostration) and then performs the Ruku‘ (bowing) without continuing the recitation of the Ayah?

A: Only a complete Ayah or more can be recited in Salah after Surah Al-Fatihah. It is not sufficient to recite part of an Ayah, because Allah (Exalted be He) says: So, recite you of the Qur’ân as much as may be easy for you. Reciting part of an Ayah is not considered a recitation, although if someone does it, their Salah is valid, because it is not obligatory to recite a Surah (Qur’anic chapter) after Al-Fatihah.
