Reciting Aloud in the Secret Prayers and Reciting Quietly in the Aloud Prayers

The questioner:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success: If the imam raises his voice in a prayer that is to be said quietly, or lowers his voice in a prayer that is to be said aloud, does that invalidate the prayer due to forgetfulness?
The Shaykh:
If he was forgetful, he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. If he was forgetful, he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. If it was something he did intentionally, his prayer is valid, because raising the voice and lowering it are recommended practices in the prayer.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
It is also a recommended practice for him. If he neglects a recommended practice, it is recommended for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness.
