The questioner : In the loud prayers, if the praying person is alone, does he recite aloud at the place of loud recitation? And if he does not join a second or third person in congregation, does he recite aloud? And do women recite aloud? And if he leaves off the loud recitation at its known degrees, does he prostrate for forgetfulness? And how are they rewarded?
The Shaykh : In the loud prayers in congregation, the recommended practice is for the imam to recite aloud, reciting al-Fatihah and whatever is easy.
As for the one who prays alone, he has the choice: if he wishes, he recites aloud, and if he wishes, he recites quietly. But if he is making up what he missed, the stronger position is that what he caught up with the imam is the beginning of his prayer. If he caught up with the imam for two rak'ahs, then the place of loud recitation has passed. If he caught up with the imam for one rak'ah, then the place of loud recitation for him is in the first rak'ah he makes up. If he wishes, he recites quietly, and if he wishes, he recites aloud. But the better option is to recite quietly so as not to disturb the people.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, regarding the women, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : As for the women, the better option for them is to recite quietly. But if they are praying in their homes, they may recite aloud if no one other than their mahram relatives hears them.
