The ma'mum carrying the mushaf to follow the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the ma'mum carrying the mushaf to follow the imam in the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
If that is the intention and he is behind the imam and close to him, there is nothing wrong with it. As for those who open their mushafs while they are far from the imam in order to follow the imam, that distracts them from khushu' (humility) in the prayer, and looking at the writing distracts them, and carrying the mushaf also distracts them.
