Reciting in the Fajr prayer of Jumu'ah: Between Slowing Down and Hurrying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I recite Surah al-Sajdah and Surah al-Insan in the Fajr prayer of Jumu'ah, should I recite slowly, or should I hurry? Because when I recite slowly and carefully, the congregation complains and says that I am prolonging the prayer for them. What is your guidance on this matter?
Answer:
Take the middle path. Do not rush the recitation to the point of garbling it, and do not drag it out to the point of making it difficult for the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam). Take the middle path, my brother. Yes. A moderate recitation, between rushing and dragging out, between stretching and cutting off. Nothing else. Yes.
