Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Some people say that if one reads in prayer, for example in the Fajr prayer, he does not read aloud. How do you direct us? May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
Reciting aloud is recommended, not obligatory. So if he recites aloud, that is better. And if he recites quietly, that is permissible, unless he is an imam; in that case, he recites aloud in order to make the ma'mum hear. This is better and more emphatic. Yes.
