Is it prescribed to recite the Qur'an through loudspeakers on Friday before the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and make benefit of your knowledge. In his second question he says: We often see and hear in the mosques the recitation of the Qur'an over loudspeakers, and that is on Friday before the adhan. What is the ruling on this recitation? Is it in accordance with the Sunnah or not? Please clarify for us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
I do not know of any basis for this recitation. What is required of the one who is present for the obligatory prayer is to occupy himself with the voluntary prayer until the imam arrives, or to occupy himself with reciting the Qur'an, each person reciting for himself, or to occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, such as tasbih, tahlil, and takbir. As for having a reciter read over the loudspeaker, causing disturbance to those present who want to pray the voluntary prayer, or who want to recite the Qur'an to obtain the reward, or who want to occupy themselves with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
