Is it permissible for an imam who is praying the night prayer from memory to open the mushaf in front of him so that if he forgets something or has a doubt, he can look at the mushaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the same question, I was at the beginning of Ramadan. I was reciting from memory, but sometimes I forget, and they cannot correct me, so we bow before the time. So I started placing the mushaf and opening it, for example, to the place where I want to read, but I do not read from it. However, if I stumble or forget, I look at the word and then continue. What is your opinion, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Where are you located?

The questioner : No.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. Then what is the obstacle if the imam stumbles, that he jumps to the verse after it?

The questioner : Jump, you mean, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes, what is the obstacle, I am saying?

The questioner : Yes, by Allah, I do not know.

The Shaykh : Ah, then this is the solution.

The questioner : Good, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Place it for him. Peace be upon you.

The questioner : I think 'Abbad was saying, meaning...

Another questioner : "I swear by the sweet, smiling one *** And the complaint of the lover to the lover *** And the books of grammar about the Lord *** Did not increase him except blindness of the heart."

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!

The questioner : It was said to Tha'lab: "Al-Mubarrad has mocked you, will you not respond to him?" He said: "Recite to me what Abu al-'Ala' recited," and he mentioned verses, saying:
The Shaykh : "A man of the Banu Mas'ab insulted me *** So I held back my soul and my honor from him
The Shaykh : And I did not answer him out of my contempt for him *** And who bites the dog if it bites?"

The Shaykh : Hehehe, nice.
