The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an Aloud in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message reached us from Sulayman al-Uthman. He says in his message: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
To the honorable scholars! Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. After that:
What is the ruling on reciting the Noble Qur'an aloud in the mosque, and are there any hadiths concerning silent or loud recitation?
Answer: There is no harm in reciting aloud in the mosques; there is nothing wrong with a person reciting aloud, but in a manner that does not annoy anyone. If there are people praying around him or readers around him, he should recite in a way that does not annoy them or confuse their prayer and recitation. He should lower his voice so as not to annoy them. However, if there are people around him who are listening to him and benefiting from his recitation, there is nothing wrong with him raising his voice so that they can hear him and benefit, provided that he does not annoy any of the readers or the praying people around him. One should know this.
It is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one day to a group in a mosque at night who were performing the late-night prayer and reciting aloud. He said to them: He ordered them to lower their voices so that they would not annoy one another. This is how it should be. If a person is reciting and there are readers or praying people with him, he should not raise his voice in a way that annoys them or confuses their recitation or prayer. No, rather he should lower his voice to a degree that benefits him and does not harm them. However, if there are people around him who are listening to him... listening to his recitation, he should recite aloud in a way that benefits them and does not harm others. Yes.

لا يؤذي بعضكم بعضا، كلكم يناجي ربه
