Is it permissible to open the mushaf and read from it during prayer for one who does not memorize the Qur'an - Ibn

Question : May Allah reward you. He says: I do not memorize anything from the Qur'an, so is it permissible for me to open the mushaf during prayer, and what is the ruling if I am the imam of a congregation?

Answer : There is nothing wrong with it. That is, if a person is praying and does not memorize the surahs he wants to recite, there is nothing wrong with him reading from the mushaf. Is this for an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one? For the obligatory prayer, perhaps he is an imam and does not memorize Surat al-Muzzammil (the surah beginning with "Alif Lam Mim, the revealed surah in which prostration is commanded"). And Surat al-Muzzammil is recommended to be recited in the Fajr prayer on one day of the week. Who knows it? Please, we do not accept the one who is reciting, man, no, another one. Fajr on Friday, and what is the other surah that is recited with it? Perfect, may Allah bless you. So, for example, an imam who has not memorized the surah of prostration. There is nothing wrong with him reading from the mushaf. There is nothing wrong with him reading from the mushaf.
It is clear. He recites "Alif Lam Mim, the revealed surah in which prostration is commanded" in the first rak'ah, and "Has there come upon man a period from mankind" in the second? Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do that, and some imams did this. So the people rose up against him and said, "Man, you have prolonged the prayer for us." You have prolonged it for us. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry when a man prolonged the Fajr prayer. An imam prolonged the Fajr prayer, so one of the congregation came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to complain, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, I am delayed in the Fajr prayer because of so-and-so, who prolongs the prayer for us." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became very angry and said, "Among you are those who drive people away from the religion. Whichever of you leads the people, let him shorten the prayer, for behind him are the weak, the old, and those in need."
When this man recited "Alif Lam Mim, the revealed surah in which prostration is commanded" with his companions in the first rak'ah and "Has there come upon man a period from mankind" in the second, did they shout at him? And they cited the hadith as evidence. So how does the imam answer them? He says to them: The one who said this is the one who was reciting in his congregation. This is the one who recites "Alif Lam Mim, the revealed surah in which prostration is commanded" and "Has there come upon man a period from mankind."
And the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) intention by "prolonging" is prolonging that goes beyond the Sunnah. As for what conforms to the Sunnah, it is not prolonging. If we said that everything that goes against the desires and whims of people is considered prolonging, the prayers would diminish until the imam starts reciting in the first rak'ah and in the second, "I swear by Allah, no one," and this is not possible. So what is the prescribed shortening and what is the forbidden prolonging? It is easy. The answer is easy. The prescribed prolonging is what conforms to the Sunnah, even if it is long for some people; that does not concern us. And the forbidden prolonging is what exceeds the Sunnah. Perfect.
