The ruling on playing the Qur'an through a loudspeaker in mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks about playing a recorded recitation of the Qur'an a quarter of an hour before the times of prayer, for example. Is it permissible to play it through the loudspeaker in the mosque?

Answer:
No, it is not done in the mosque. Each person reads according to his own situation in the mosque. However, if they do it in their homes, or while traveling, or in similar circumstances, there is nothing wrong with it. Or if they gather in the mosque at times and listen to a recorded recitation of the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with that. But as for making people listen to it while they are waiting for the prayer, no. They should leave the people to... the one who is reading and the one who is praying, praise be to Allah. It is better to leave off using the loudspeaker to play the recitation of the Qur'an. I do not know of any basis for this. Also, it is a distraction for the people. One person may want to read, and another may be praying the greeting of the mosque or the regular voluntary prayer. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
