Is it permissible for a person to repeat a verse more than once in prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is your view (Honorable Shaykh) regarding some imams who, when reciting the Qur'an, repeat a verse more than three times, raise their voice in some verses, and lower their voice in others? Is this permissible?

Answer:
If the one praying is praying alone, there is nothing wrong with repeating the verse for contemplation. But if he is leading people in prayer, he should not repeat it, because this is burdensome for the people; this is burdensome for the people. Rather, he should recite and continue. But if he is praying for himself and there is no one behind him, then there is nothing wrong with his repeating and contemplating the Qur'an. Yes.
