The ruling on the imam reciting aloud in the secret prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What should the imam do if he leads the people in a secret prayer, such as the midday prayer, and recites aloud a verse that is not appropriate for that prayer? Does he complete the prayer aloud, or does he stop? What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
No, it is not common. If he realizes it, or if one of the people praying behind him reminds him, he should recite quietly. He should recite quietly. He completes the prayer, building upon the part he recited aloud, and continues quietly. This is sufficient, if Allah wills. Likewise, the reverse applies: if he leads a prayer at night that is recited aloud, and he recites quietly in it, then he realizes it or is reminded, he should recite aloud for the remainder, building upon the recitation he had already done.
