The Ruling on Reading from the Mushaf in Voluntary Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for one who is praying a voluntary prayer to read from the mushaf?
Answer:
It is permissible, it is permissible, but there is no need for the mushaf, because he recites whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an, unless he is in the night prayer and lengthens the recitation. In the night prayer, there is no harm in taking the mushaf. As for the regular voluntary prayers, there is no need to carry the mushaf; he recites the short surahs and whatever he has memorized. Yes.
