Is it prescribed for the follower to say (Ameen) aloud like the imam?

The Shaykh : And this is a question now from some of the brothers, related to the previous discussion, if there are questions here = -- ... -- = and it is whether it is prescribed for the follower to say aloud like the imam?
The Shaykh: The answer is that there is no authentic hadith in the Sunnah, traced to the Messenger (peace be upon him), in which it is prescribed for the followers to say aloud as the imam does. And when I say "authentic," I mean by that that there is a hadith in "Sunan Ibn Majah" that is weak, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: Ameen; and those behind him would say: , and they would raise their voices with it, until the mosque would shake. This hadith is not correct in terms of its chain of narration; because in it is a man named "Ismail ibn Rafi' al-Madani," as I recall now, or Bashir — the uncertainty is from me — and in any case, it is weak and cannot serve as a proof. As for the hadith by which we established the prescription of the imam saying aloud, it does not indicate to us that anyone other than the imam participates with him in saying it aloud. That hadith is the hadith of "Wa'il ibn Hujr," so it is he who transmitted to us this Sunnah, where he said: "That he prayed behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when he said: he said: , and he raised his voice with it." So we say that this noble Companion is the one who transmitted to us this Sunnah. If the Companions of the Prophet (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) had also been saying it aloud behind him, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, they would have told us, as came in the weak hadith: "The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: , and he raised his voice with it, and those behind him raised their voices with it." The evidence is that there was no raising of the voice with by anyone other than the Messenger (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him); therefore, he reported what he heard and omitted what he did not hear. The hadith itself has a dual indication: by its explicit wording, it is evidence for the Sunnah of the imam saying aloud, and by its implied meaning, it is evidence that the Sunnah for the follower is to say quietly.
The Shaykh: Here is a question that contains some strangeness.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : The follower should exert effort at that time.
The Shaykh: Here is a question that contains some strangeness. The questioner says: After "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim," saying aloud only, and what is the interpretation of the verse: ?
The Shaykh: Now we remind the questioner of two facts. This verse was revealed in the early days of Islam, when the Messenger (peace be upon him) was praying in some of the houses of his Companions, and the polytheists would gather around it, and they might harm the Messenger (peace be upon him) and insult his true object of worship. So his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He) commanded him to take a middle path in recitation between saying it aloud and saying it quietly. This is what is intended by the verse. But if the imam stands to lead people in prayer, and the people are many, and the mosque is spacious, or if he is praying, for example, in the desert, like, for example, during Hajj in the season of Hajj; then this verse does not apply here, and it does not occur to the questioner, in this situation, that it is not prescribed for the imam to raise his voice. Yes; if the questioner means that the imam raising his voice with is more than the recitation, then this is a valid question, and we say: The voice of is not to be raised more than the voice of the recitation itself. It is sufficient for the imam to raise his voice with to the extent of his recitation. Raising the voice is only raised according to need. If you are praying in an enclosed place and there are a limited number of few people praying behind you; the matter is not the same as if you were in the open and there are hundreds of people praying behind you; in this case, you raise your voice according to need and according to what you can convey of the Qur'an to the worshippers behind you... There is nothing related to the previous discussion. After this, we return to answering some of the questions, and I hope you will be satisfied with the questions that have passed; because the reality is that there are many, and it is not possible to answer them until midnight, so be patient with us a little until we finish with the questions we have.
