Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abdullah, says: What is the ruling on reciting the basmalah aloud?
Answer:
Reciting the basmalah aloud in prayer contradicts the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in most cases, and the practice of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. They did not recite "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" aloud; rather, they began the prayer with "Alhamdulillah Rabb al-Alamin." However, one may occasionally recite the basmalah aloud, not as a consistent practice, but only at times. Yes.
