The questioner : This questioner says: There are people who do not raise their voices in saying “Ameen” after the imam says it. What is better in this: raising the voice or lowering it in prayer? I hope for your guidance?
The Shaykh : The correct view is that it is better to say “Ameen” aloud, as is reported from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). If a person is found saying it quietly, some scholars have held this view, and he is not to be censured for it, but it should be made clear to him that it is better to say “Ameen” aloud. Yes.
