Is it prescribed for the imam to make those behind him hear him in the secret recitation, especially when that may sometimes cause disturbance to the ma'mum?

The questioner:
Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed for the imam to make those behind him hear him in the secret recitation, especially since that may sometimes cause disturbance to the ma'mum?

The Shaykh:
This is not permissible except for a need, such as when he wants to teach them something they do not know; he raises his voice in order to teach them, and there is no harm in that. But if he raises his voice without a need, that is contrary to the Sunnah, and it also disturbs the other worshippers. Yes.
