The Permissibility of the Imam Distinguishing the Takbir for the Benefit of the Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for the imam to distinguish the takbirat of the prayer, such as raising his voice when he stands and lowering it when he bows, in order to rest the congregation and alert the inattentive?
Answer:
If there is a benefit for the congregation in this, there is nothing wrong with it. He raises the takbir so that the takbir is heard, and his distinguishing between its phrases for the benefit of the congregation is not a problem.
