Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are those who say that a lack of sincerity is indicated when the imam’s recitation in loud prayer differs from his recitation in quiet prayer. In loud prayer, he observes the measured recitation and the rules of tajwid, but in quiet prayer, he does not observe them and is careless with his recitation.
Answer:
Have a good opinion of the imams and do not say such things. As for yourself, be careful with yourself. As for the imams, have a good opinion of them and do not assume you know what is in their hearts. Yes.
