The Ruling on the Imam Reading from the Mushaf in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Abu Nasir sent this question, saying: Is it permissible for the imam and the one praying alone to carry the mushaf in the obligatory prayer? We have an imam of a mosque who often relies on the mushaf, especially in the Fajr and 'Isha' prayers. Should we rebuke him for it?
Answer:
This is not suitable for an imam. He should read from the short surahs and from what he has memorized, and not carry the mushaf. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
