Appointing a man behind the imam with a mushaf to open it for him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some prayers, such as tarawih for example, a man is chosen to stand behind the imam to open the mushaf for him, and he carries the mushaf to avoid disagreement and raised voices. He asks: Is this action permissible?
Answer:
This is permissible out of necessity; there is nothing wrong with it. If there is no one who has memorized the Qur'an, and everyone behind him does not know the Qur'an by heart, there is nothing wrong with one person taking charge, holding the mushaf, and praying behind him to alert him. Yes.
