The Imam Repeating Some Verses of Mercy or Punishment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on the Imam repeating some verses of mercy or punishment?
A: I am not aware of any harm in this; the intention is to encourage people to reflect, become humble, and benefit. It was narrated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah: 118], and he (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated it many times.
In conclusion, if it is for a good purpose and not for the purpose of showing off, there is no harm in it. However, if he sees that repeating it may disturb them and cause disturbing sounds from crying, then leaving it out is better so that there is no confusion. But if repeating it results only in humility, reflection, and attention to the prayer, then all of that is good.

If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُIn conclusion, if it is for a good purpose and not for the purpose of showing off, there is no harm in it.
