Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, what is the ruling on some of the worshippers holding a mushaf behind the imam during the night prayer or tarawih in order to follow the recitation?
The Shaykh : I do not see this as permissible unless the imam has appointed the follower to follow him so that he can correct him if he makes a mistake. As for mere following, that is not allowed, because this following distracts the worshipper from truly following his imam and from looking at the place of his prostration, and it causes him to do things he does not need to do. Yes. Yes.
