Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on following the imam during the prayer and correcting him through the mushaf, especially in the night prayer or the tahajjud?
Answer:
The ma'mum carrying the mushaf behind the imam. If he does so in order to open to the imam who is reciting from memory, he opens to him. If he closes the recitation to him, there is nothing wrong with it. As for the one who carries the mushaf while he is far from the imam, it is disliked for him to do so. Some scholars consider it forbidden because it distracts him from the prayer, since carrying the mushaf and looking at it distracts him from the prayer, so it is disliked for him or forbidden. Yes.
