What is the ruling on the prayer of the ma'mum if he asks Allah for His bounty or recites tasbih when the imam is reciting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on the prayer of the ma'mum who glorifies Allah, or asks Allah for His bounty, or seeks refuge from His punishment, when the imam recites a verse in the obligatory prayer that relates to any of the aforementioned matters?
The Shaykh : It is better that he not do so, except if the verse is the last of the imam's recitation and he asks before the imam moves on. If so, there is no harm in it, if Allah wills. However, if he does it before that, it distracts him from listening to the imam.
The questioner : But it does not invalidate his prayer.
The Shaykh : No, I do not hear you cooking.
The questioner : Perhaps Allah will guide you.
The Shaykh : For example, if it does not distract him, such as once with the verse of glorification, and he says Subhan Allah or Subhanahu, this does not harm and does not occupy him from listening to the imam.
The presenter : May Allah reward you.
