Is it permissible to complete a recitation of the Qur'an in the daily prayers while holding the mushaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A woman says that she completes a recitation of the Qur'an in her obligatory prayers and the regular voluntary prayers, such that she reads a portion or more of the Qur'an in every prayer, while holding the mushaf in the prayer.

Answer:
There is no need to hold the mushaf in the obligatory prayer; one should read from memory, from the short surahs. As for the voluntary prayer, there is nothing wrong with reading from the mushaf. As for the obligatory prayer, it is not the custom of the scholars and Muslims to carry mushafs in the obligatory prayer, and because there is no need for this. Rather, a person reads in the obligatory prayer what he has memorized from the Book of Allah, from the short surahs, the medium-length surahs, or the long surahs. He reads whatever is easy for him from his memory, not from the mushaf. Yes.
