Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Is it wrong to object to the imam who reads from the mushaf in the Fajr prayer?
Answer:
This is a great laziness, and there is no need to read from the mushaf in the Fajr prayer. He reads whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an. He reads from the short surahs. There is nothing wrong with that. He reads whatever is easy for him. There is no need to carry the mushaf in the Fajr prayer.
But with this, we tell him: memorize from the Qur'an what you read in the Fajr prayer. From the Mufassal. Memorize surahs from the Mufassal.
Or memorize the entire Mufassal. And if there is someone better than him and more proficient in taking the Qur'an, he is preferred over him. Prefer the one who is more proficient in taking the Qur'an. Is that the Sunnah? Yes. But if he is in a place where there is no one else, where there is no one else but him, and he does not memorize much of it, he reads whatever he wishes, even if it is a verse, or even a short surah. There is no need to carry the mushaf in the obligatory prayer. This is only in the tarawih, the night prayer. Yes.
