Reciting the Qur'an over loudspeakers before Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: In some mosques in many parts of the Islamic world, verses from the Noble Qur'an are recited over loudspeakers before the Friday prayer. What is the ruling on this?

A: We know no basis for this, neither in the Book nor in the Sunnah, nor in the practice of the Companions or the righteous Salaf (may Allah be pleased with them all). According to the method described, this is considered one of the newly invented matters that should be abandoned, because it is a newly invented matter. Also, it may distract the worshippers and the reciters from their prayers and recitations. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows best.
And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
