Reciting aloud in the night prayer for one who missed the congregation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one is late for the prayer recited aloud, does he recite it aloud or quietly?

Answer:
In the night prayer, which is recited aloud, if a person misses the prayer with the congregation and wants to pray alone, he should recite aloud. The Sunnah (recommended practice) is that he recites aloud, and if he recites quietly, that is permissible for him, because reciting aloud is a Sunnah (recommended practice). If he leaves it off, he owes nothing, but reciting aloud is better.
