The Permissibility of Reciting the Opening Supplication and Seeking Refuge Aloud with the Intention of Teaching People

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Let us conclude the topic of seeking refuge. In "Sahih Muslim," it is stated: "That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to recite the opening supplication aloud," which is before seeking refuge in the prayer, "to teach the people." The doubt arises from here. As for that hadith, I do not think you will be able to obtain it for me. And if you do obtain it for me, you will have revealed a treasure to me, but I do not know if the treasure is alive or dead; Allah knows best.
The student: My Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : I just remembered, glory to Allah the Great, from the beginning of the speech you offered. I read this statement in "al-Nayl," and the author of "al-Nayl" argues for reciting the seeking of refuge aloud, following the example of 'Umar reciting the opening supplication aloud. He says it is possible—also—to recite the seeking of refuge aloud to teach the people. This is perhaps the doubt that was present.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is it.
The student : And Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, meaning, I have found the right path.
The student : It was revealed to him.

The questioner : There is a question, O Shaykh.
