The Imam Carrying the Mushaf in the Obligatory Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for the imam in the obligatory prayer to carry the mushaf?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
Is it permissible for the imam in the obligatory prayer to carry the mushaf for the purpose of recitation?
The Shaykh:
This is not what qualifies one to be an imam. Recite whatever is easy for you of it; there is no need for the mushaf. That is, if one does not memorize the recitation that suffices for the obligatory prayer, he is not qualified to be an imam.
