The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Likewise, I have a question for you. We see in the Haram some of the brothers carrying the Mushaf during the prayer. Is that permissible for you?
The Shaykh:
He did not leave it, which is greater than his khushu' (humility), or he becomes humble, or he listens. So if he becomes humble, [he uses] the Mushaf.
Another questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Also, there is no harm. He reads from the Mushaf. The freed slave of Aishah used to pray with her from the Mushaf. It is better to recite from memory if it is easy, because it is more humble.
