Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. If you pray Maghrib and 'Isha' aloud, as if you were the imam, and you raise your voice, is there anything wrong with that, or is it showing off? As Shaykh Salih says, the one who prays the night prayer raises his voice in recitation, whether he is praying alone or leading. Praise be to Allah, because raising the voice in recitation in the night prayer is a recommended practice (sunnah) for both the one praying alone and the imam. There is no showing off in that, if Allah wills, if Allah wills.
Answer:
Except for what follows the intentions and purposes. If his intention in raising his voice is to make people hear him, or to be pleased with his voice, or that people praise him, that is showing off. But if his intention in raising his voice is to act upon the Sunnah, he is rewarded for that, and it is not showing off.
The presenter:
Yes.
