The Imam Reciting from a Telephone in the Obligatory Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the imam reciting from a telephone, reciting the Qur'an in the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
One does not read from the mushaf, nor from anything else, in the obligatory prayer. One only recites from memory, from the short surahs and whatever is easy for him, so he does not read from the mushaf.
