The ruling on raising the voice in tasbih and sending blessings upon the Prophet in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah hear you. The Honorable Shaykh, he says: We notice that in the Tarawih and night prayers, when the imam recites a verse containing the oneness of Allah, such as His saying
There is no deity except You; exalted are Youلَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ
[Al-Anbya 21:87]
, we hear the worshippers saying it in a clear voice. Is that permissible if it is an obligatory prayer? And regarding sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the saying of Allah the Exalted
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
, is that also permissible?

Answer:
It is permissible, but without raising the voice. It should be between him and himself, between him and himself, and he should not raise his voice with it. As for seeking refuge at the verse of punishment and seeking help at the verse of mercy, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only did this in the Tahajjud prayer at night, and he did not do it in the obligatory prayers. So it is restricted to voluntary prayers only.
