The ruling on the imam reading from the mushaf and the ma'mum following him from it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, among his questions he says: What is the ruling on reading from the mushaf in the tarawih prayer, and holding the mushaf for the ma'mum?
Answer:
If the imam does not have the Qur'an memorized, there is nothing wrong with him reading from the mushaf. As for the ma'mum, he should not hold the mushaf or look at the verses, because this distracts him from the presence of the heart. He becomes occupied with looking and becomes distracted, so this prevents him from being humble in his prayer and having his heart present in his prayer. Yes.
