The ruling on playing a tape of dhikr on the loudspeaker in the mosque before the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From Algeria, the questioner who used the initials L-A-H for his name wrote this collection of questions in his own style. He begins with the first question and says: What is the ruling on placing a recitation tape on the loudspeaker before the Friday prayer in the mosque?

Answer:
This is not permissible, because what is prescribed for Muslims when they come for the Friday prayer is to engage in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted: tasbih, tahlil, takbir, praising Allah and extolling Him, or reciting the Qur'an, which is better, or engaging in voluntary prayer until the imam arrives. This is what is prescribed. It is not prescribed for one person to stand in front of the microphone and recite in a loud voice, disturbing those present, the worshippers, and those who are remembering Allah, or to turn on a tape on the loudspeaker. This disturbs those present, those who are praying, those who are reciting the Qur'an, or those who are remembering Allah the Exalted. Yes.
