The ruling on reciting the Qur'an through external loudspeakers during the loud prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We move on to the third matter, which is broadcasting the Qur'an on Friday and during the other prayers. Especially here in al-Ahsa, I noticed that there is a reciter reading the Qur'an, and there is a reciter here—I do not know, it seems the matter is left to chance. The imam's recitation is broadcast through the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker here in the mosque is for those in the mosque to hear, not for all the people outside, some of whom are distracted and playing, some are busy and not listening to the Qur'an, and some may be in prayer, in which case it disturbs them. Therefore, using these newly invented means that sometimes help achieve a benefit that is not established by the text is not permissible under any circumstances, except by the standard we transmitted from Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him).
