What is the ruling on the imam raising his voice when saying "Ameen" after reciting al-Fatihah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Well, regarding this issue, I mean, I was reminded of a hadith, for example, from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say when he recited: [Al-Fatihah 1:7] , and the one next to him in the first row would hear it!
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner: So, I say, based on my humble understanding: that he would be heard by those in the first row. How would he be heard by those in the first row if they were not in agreement on the "Ameen"? That is one point, Shaykh. The second is that this is the athar of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, Aisha?
The Shaykh: One by one, may Allah guide you.
The questioner: Ah, please, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: One by one, leave the enthusiasm.
The questioner: May Allah bless you. Well, it is because we are in a hurry and...
The Shaykh: The enthusiasm.
The questioner: And there is hope that we will not return, Shaykh, and there is hope that we will not return, so we want to benefit quickly.
The Shaykh: Have you not prayed behind an imam who raises his voice with "Ameen"?
The student: Abu Malik, for example.
The Shaykh : Be patient.
The questioner : No, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Have you prayed behind an imam who raises his voice with "Ameen" or not?
The questioner: By Allah, honestly, Shaykh, I have not prayed behind an imam where I knew whether he was saying "Ameen" or not from the sound of the people?!
The Shaykh: Yes, come, let him pray.
The questioner: Because they were ahead of him.
The Shaykh: Pray with us tonight.
The questioner: We will learn with you.
Another questioner: So we tell you, our Shaykh, this is a phenomenon that is widespread among imams, most of them, and they themselves do not say "Ameen" because they do not know it!
The Shaykh: That is correct, my brother, some people are like this and some are like that.
The questioner: Yes, I say some people are like this and some are like that.
The Shaykh: Because the Shafi'i school says to raise the voice with "Ameen," so if he is of the Shafi'i school and a jurist in his school, he will raise his voice with "Ameen." Oh Allah, peace be upon you.
The questioner: ... No problem, Shaykh, the question is: is the "Ameen" shared by all the Muslim worshippers, or is there a difference among them? ... .
not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
