Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is your guidance regarding an imam who, in every prayer and every rak'ah, gets close to the microphone? He says: The imam gets close to the microphone during prayer while bowing, and it disturbs me in my recitation, and while standing in the silent prayers, so much so that I hear most of his prayer and supplication. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Warn him and tell him: "You are disturbing those behind you; do not get close to the microphone." Some imams overlook this matter; they put their mouth right at the microphone, which disturbs the people and raises the volume, causing harm to people in prayer, affecting their hearing and their ears. This is not permissible; it is not permissible for them to do this. Yes.
