Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the contemporary era, given the presence of loudspeakers, if the ma'mum is far away and will not contest the imam, but he hears his voice, is he permitted to recite?
Answer:
He contests himself; he does not recite in the manner of recitation when the imam is not reciting aloud. He does not recite in the required manner and disturb the person next to him. So the prohibited matter exists, even if he is far from the imam. Yes.
