Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 5127 )
Q2: What is the ruling in Islam regarding reciting quietly in the loud prayers, such as reciting quietly in the first two rak'ahs of the Maghrib or 'Isha' prayer?
A2: It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite aloud in the two rak'ahs of the Fajr prayer and in the first two rak'ahs of the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. Therefore, reciting aloud in these prayers is a recommended practice (sunnah), and it is prescribed for his Ummah to follow his example; as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ahzab 33:21] And it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6008 If one recites quietly in a place where reciting aloud is prescribed, he has left the recommended practice (sunnah), but his prayer is not invalidated by this. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
