The Ruling on Reciting Aloud in the Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abdul-Majid al-Mahmoud says: Some of those who make up missed prayers, O Shaykh, raise their voices in the loud prayers, arguing that they do so to alert others so they can catch up with them.
The Shaykh:
No, that is not the case. They recite aloud because that is the sunnah (recommended practice); the night prayer is recited aloud, unless doing so causes disturbance to others, in which case they do not recite aloud. However, if there is no harm in doing so, the default for recitation in the night prayer is that it is recited aloud. Yes.
The questioner:
If you mean those who make up missed prayers in the mosque.
The Shaykh:
He does not recite aloud for that reason; he recites aloud to follow the sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
