The minimum obligatory (fard) amount is one short verse in total. Allah Most High commands, "Recite whatever is made easy for you of the Qur'an." [Qur'an, 73.20]. The necessary (wajib) amount is the Fatiha and the extent of three short verses, based on Prophetic practice and instruction. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Shurunbulali, Maraqi
As you have mentioned, the minimum requirement for the necessary recitation in Salaah is three verses or one verse equivalent to three. However, the minimum requirement for the amount of letters necessary is, according to one opinion, eighteen. I pray this finds you in the best of health and faith, insha'Allah. (1) The minimum number of verses which need to be recited in the voluntary prayers is three, just like the obligatory prayer, or one long verse which is the extent of three short verses.What is the minimum number of verses that it is permissible to recite? Answer Praise be to Allah. Reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah in the first two rak'ahs of the prayer is mustahabb (recommended), not waajib (obligatory), according to the majority of scholars.
