Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I heard that vocalizing the intention in prayer is the position of Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him). Is this correct?
Answer:
Yes, they attribute it to Imam al-Shafi'i, but it is not established from Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him); they attribute this to him, but it is not established from him (may Allah have mercy on him). He was the most following of the Sunnah, the most knowledgeable of it, and the most aware of it. Yes.
