The Ruling on Reading from the Mushaf in Obligatory and Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Our sister says: If I pray Tarawih with another woman, is it valid for me to recite from the Mushaf, since I only memorize a small portion of the Noble Qur'an? Yes. She asks: Is it permissible for me, if I pray with another woman, to read from the Mushaf, since I do not memorize from the Noble Qur'an except a small portion?
Answer:
If her intention is the obligatory prayer, it is sufficient for her to recite what she has memorized of the Qur'an, even if it is little, and she does not need a Mushaf. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 397a As for if the prayer is voluntary, such as standing in night prayer, which requires a long recitation, there is no harm in reading from the Mushaf. Yes.

اقرأ ما تيسر معك من القرآن.
