Question:
Which is better, to perform the night prayer aloud or quietly?
Answer:
Aloud at night; that is better. If one recites quietly, there is no blame on him. Yes.
The presenter : So, the night prayer at night...
The Shaykh : Aloud; that is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite aloud, and sometimes quietly, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said. Yes.
The presenter : This is if one is in the house.
The Shaykh : In the house, or in the open while traveling, or in the mosque performing tahajjud, or in tarawih, or in the night prayer of Ramadan during the last ten days, the recommended practice is to recite aloud.
The presenter : What Allah willed. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Does this ruling apply to both men and women, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh : For everyone, women and men, yes, in the house and in the mosque. But if a woman has non-mahram men present, it is better to recite quietly, because her voice may lead some people to sin. So it is better to recite quietly. Likewise, if there are non-mahram men around her, it is better to recite the talbiyah quietly. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah bless you. Regarding the obligatory prayers that are recited aloud, does the woman also recite aloud?
The Shaykh : In her house?
The presenter : In her house, yes.
The Shaykh : It is better for her to recite aloud. But if she is with the imam, she listens.
The presenter : Yes, yes. May Allah reward you, and may He reward you with the best reward.
