The ruling on reciting behind the imam in large mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the practice of reciting behind the imam in large mosques, such as the two Sacred Mosques, fall under the action of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and is it prescribed?
Answer:
Yes, that is the original practice. They are building upon this original practice in the two Sacred Mosques, because the number of worshippers in the two Sacred Mosques now, as you know, is in the hundreds of thousands. If there were no reciters, the worshippers would not hear the imam’s takbir. So the need calls for this. Yes.
