The questioner : He says in his final question: Is it better to recite the Qur'an in the mosque aloud or quietly?
The Shaykh : In the mosque, it is better to recite the Qur'an quietly, unless there is no one present to disturb him, or if those present wish for him to recite aloud because they do not know how to recite themselves and like to hear it from others. In that case, there is nothing wrong with it, but on the condition that no one in the mosque is occupied with anything other than listening to him.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : For that is not permissible; that is, it is not permissible for a man to recite the Qur'an aloud in the mosque while there are people around him who are disturbed by it. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to his Companions while they were praying and reciting aloud, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him)As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 14:26 or he said .
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And this is an authentic hadith, as Ibn 'Abd al-Barr stated.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes.

Each of you is conversing with his Lord, so do not raise your voices over one another in the Qur'an.
