The questioner : In the secret prayers, is it permissible to raise the voice with the takbir?
The Shaykh : In the secret prayers, the imam must raise his voice so that the people can follow him, but anyone other than the imam does not raise his voice because there is no need for it. Then, here is a matter I wish to point out: some of the ma'mums who pray behind the imam are heard raising their voices, either with the takbir, or with saying "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), or with saying "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), or with the recitation. They disturb those around them, and the least of its states is that it is disliked. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to his Companions while they were reciting and raising their voices with the recitation, so he forbade them and said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1332Sahih (Al-Albani) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered this to be a nuisance, and he spoke the truth. Indeed, a person who raises his voice in prayer while there are people praying around him causes them harm without a doubt. For this reason, we forbid our brothers who pray behind the imam from raising their voices with any of the dhikr of the prayer, whether the recitation, the tasbih, or the du'a', so that they do not disturb those around them. Yes.

One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation
