Reciting the Qur'an in the mosque on the Day of 'Arafah and via the loudspeaker
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Innovations are stretching their necks, O Shaykh (may Allah preserve you). The Qur'an was recited in a mosque on the Day of 'Arafah before the sermon and after the prayer. What is the ruling on that? Innovations are stretching their necks, O Shaykh (may Allah preserve you).
The Shaykh:
It is little.
The questioner:
They mislead by stretching their necks.
The Shaykh:
They stretch, they stretch.
The questioner:
They are stretching their necks, O Shaykh (may Allah preserve them).
The Shaykh:
They persist, yes.
The questioner:
And the Qur'an was recited in the mosque of 'A'ata before the sermon, after the sermon, and after the prayer. What is your opinion?
The Shaykh:
The authorities can alert those in charge of the mosque. Each person should recite for himself whatever he recites from the loudspeaker; because this occupies the worshippers and occupies the reciters. It is not appropriate. But each person should recite for himself without raising his voice, so as not to harm the worshippers and reciters around him. Each should recite quietly and softly so as not to harm those around him in the mosques. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one night, and there were people in the mosque reciting, and some of them were reciting over others, so he said. If it is in the mosque, then this one recites and this one recites, but he does not harm his neighbor. He does not raise his voice so as to disturb the worshipper around him or the reciter around him. As for recitation and the loudspeaker, it occupies the people, no.
The questioner:
The ruling on this recitation. The ruling on this recitation.
The Shaykh:
It is prohibited. It does not occupy the people who are praying, sitting, reciting, glorifying Allah, or responding to the call. It does not prevent this.
The questioner:
Even if. It is prohibited.
The Shaykh:
In the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner:
If he were reciting this recitation in his home.
The Shaykh:
In the home, fine. In the home or in the mosque, but on the condition that he does not harm anyone with his speed.
The questioner:
With this same recitation?
The Shaykh:
The lawful recitation that has no dragging out, rather the recitation is moderate. Yes.

Each of you is conversing with Allah, so do not harm one another.
