The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on reciting the opening supplication in voluntary prayers? And what is the ruling on reciting aloud in the Dhuhr and Asr prayers for a woman? Because that causes the recitation of the Qur'an to be measured and drives away intrusive thoughts?
The Shaykh:
Reciting aloud in the Dhuhr and Asr prayers is contrary to the Sunnah. The Sunnah in the daytime prayers is to recite quietly, except where there is evidence that the imam recites aloud, such as the Friday prayer, the two Eid prayers, the eclipse prayer, and the prayer for rain. In these, the imam recites aloud following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in that. As for the rest of the daytime prayers where there is no evidence for reciting aloud, the Sunnah is for men and women to recite quietly. And the question remains
The questioner:
And the rest of the question says: Because that causes the recitation of the Qur'an to be measured and drives away intrusive thoughts?

And the opening supplication in voluntary prayers.
The Shaykh:
The opening supplication is recommended in voluntary prayers and in obligatory prayers.

Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
