The validity of praying the congregational prayers quietly after the imam has finished

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your brother Abu Anwar al-Yemeni says: Many of the brothers enter the mosque to perform one of the loud prayers—Maghrib, 'Isha', or Fajr—after the imam has finished the prayer, and they pray it quietly. Is their prayer valid?

Answer:
Yes, raising the voice is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. One may raise the voice or keep it quiet. The important thing is that he recites and hears himself, even if only to the extent that he hears himself. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
