Reciting the Basmala aloud in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Do we take from the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, when he said to his son, "That is from the hadath," meaning reciting Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim aloud, that reciting it aloud is a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
That is how 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal viewed it, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman did not recite it aloud. So the one who recites it aloud has introduced something they did not do; this is a type of innovation. Yes.
