Is it obligatory to recite aloud for the imam during the recitation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to recite aloud for the imam during the recitation?

Answer:
Yes, if the recitation is closed to the imam, then the one who knows it must recite it aloud for him. This is why, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was closed to in recitation and they did not recite for him, when he finished the prayer he said, “Where are you, O Ka'b? O Abu, where are you, O Abu?” Abu ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked him for not reciting aloud for him. Yes.
