The questioner:
Which is in accordance with the Sunnah: performing voluntary prayers quietly or aloud? And is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud in prayer?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible for a woman to recite aloud in the prayers where recitation is loud, such as the night prayer, provided that no man who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) hears her. However, if men who are not her mahram hear her, she should not recite aloud, out of caution against fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
The questioner:
The question is about reciting aloud in voluntary prayers: is it permissible? And is it also permissible for a woman to recite aloud in prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes, we have answered regarding a woman reciting aloud in prayer. As for reciting aloud in voluntary prayers in general: in the night prayer, the recitation is loud. As for the daytime prayers, the recitation is quiet in both the obligatory and voluntary prayers, except where evidence indicates loud recitation, such as the prayer for the festival, the eclipse prayer, and the prayer for rain; in these, the recitation is loud during the day. The Friday prayer is also included. Yes.
