Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener also asks and says: An imam prayed the secret prayer with us, but he raised his voice in it. What is your guidance?
Answer:
He owes nothing. If he prostrates for forgetfulness, that is good, but it is not obligatory for him to do so; because raising the voice and keeping it low are both recommended practices. So if he raised his voice in the secret prayer, or kept it low in the loud prayer, he owes nothing, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
