The ruling on the imam reciting aloud in a secret prayer by mistake
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable scholar asks: What should the imam do if he leads the people in a secret prayer, such as the midday prayer, and recites aloud by mistake? Does he continue the prayer aloud, or does he stop? And what is the procedure in that case?
Answer:
No, he does not continue. If he remembers, or if one of the people praying behind him reminds him, he recites quietly and completes the prayer, building upon the recitation he did aloud. He builds upon it and recites quietly, and does not continue reciting aloud. Likewise, the reverse applies: if he prays a loud prayer at night and recites quietly, then remembers or is reminded, he recites aloud for the remainder, building upon the recitation he did quietly. Yes.
