Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on reciting the Basmala aloud in front of the ma'mum who believes that reciting it aloud is obligatory, as the Shafi'is say?
Answer:
What is the ruling? Reciting the Basmala aloud in front of the ma'mum who believes that reciting it aloud is obligatory, as the Shafi'is say. No, the Sunnah is that one recites it aloud sometimes, as Ibn 'Abbas did sometimes. As for the default, it is not recited aloud, based on the authentic hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meaning that the first thing they would recite aloud was the praise. This is evidence that the Basmala is recited silently. Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him), and Abu Bakr and 'Umar, the first thing they would begin the prayer with was "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds"
