What is the ruling on reading from the Mushaf in the obligatory prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on reading from the mushaf in the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
We have not reached that point. For the obligatory prayer, may Allah make it easy for you to recite whatever you can of the Qur'an, even if it is just the short surahs. I do not think, if Allah wills, that there is a Muslim who does not have the short surahs memorized. He has Surat al-Fatihah memorized, along with some of the short surahs. I do not think there is a Muslim here who has reached that level. There is no need to carry the mushaf. Carrying the mushaf is only for the night prayer, or for the tarawih or tahajjud prayers, which require a long recitation.
