The ruling on a woman reading from the mushaf in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: When I pray, in all prayers, I read directly from the mushaf, whether in the prayers with loud recitation or those with silent recitation, knowing that a woman does not recite aloud. However, I read directly from the mushaf. If that is permissible, is it possible for me to lengthen the recitation by one or two pages from the mushaf in a single rak'ah of the obligatory prayer, or not?

Answer:
It is better in the obligatory prayer to read without the mushaf, to read from memory from the short surahs. Read from the short surahs or from the verses you have memorized without taking the mushaf, because that occupies her, and she looks at the verses and the writing. There is no need to carry the mushaf, because it suffices to read from the short surahs or from the verses you have memorized. As for the night prayer, the tarawih prayer, and the tahajjud prayer, there is no harm in carrying the mushaf in them, because this is something that has been reported from some of the Salaf. As for reciting aloud, she recites aloud if no men can hear her, if no men can hear her who would be tempted by her voice, or if it affects those praying around her, or those sleeping around her, or those reciting the Qur'an. If she is disturbing the people, she does not recite aloud, or if her voice is heard by men, she does not recite aloud. Yes.
