Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question in the letter from the sister Istibrig from Iraq, in which she says: Is it permissible to recite aloud in the secret prayers? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: It is permissible, but reciting quietly is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes recited aloud in the secret prayers and made them hear the verse, but the majority of the time he recited quietly, peace and blessings be upon him. This is the Sunnah: reciting quietly in the secret prayers, such as the midday and afternoon prayers. However, if one recites some verses aloud at times, that is better. Yes.
