The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it established in the Sunnah that it is recommended for the imam in the secret prayer to make some of his recitation audible to those behind him?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for him to do so, except if they are ignorant of reciting al-Fatihah, in which case he recites it aloud in order to alert them to recite it in the secret prayer.
The questioner:
And he says, may Allah preserve you, is this matter...
The Shaykh:
If they were ignorant of the tasbih in ruku' and sujud, he recites it aloud to teach them; there is no harm in that. Yes.
The questioner:
And he says: Is this matter specific to the imam, or does it also include the ma'mum, such that he may raise his voice occasionally with some of the verses?
The Shaykh:
This has only been reported regarding the imam.
