Seeking refuge, supplication, and glorification when reciting the Qur'an: in the night prayer but not in the obligatory prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), when the imam recites a verse of punishment, seek refuge. Is this correct?
Seeking refuge with Allah at a verse of punishment, asking for mercy at a verse of mercy, and glorifying Allah at a verse of glorification is a recommended practice (sunnah) in the night prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do.
In the obligatory prayer, the apparent Sunnah is that one does not seek refuge, does not supplicate, and does not glorify when passing through what necessitates that. This is with regard to the imam.But if he does it, our jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said: It is permissible.
As for the ma'mum, if it does not prevent him from listening to his imam's recitation, there is no harm. And I think a single word does not prevent him.If he had said: "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah), "I ask Allah of His bounty," does not prevent him from listening, so there is no harm in saying this. And if he remains silent, that is better.
The questioner: Does he raise his finger?The Shaykh: No.
Raising the finger is a movement with no need for it.
