Question:
What is the ruling on holding a mushaf and reading from it during prayer?
Answer:
Answer: In the obligatory prayer, one does not read from the mushaf, because what is required in the obligatory prayer is an easy recitation of the short surahs or verses. The pillar and the obligatory part is Surat al-Fatihah, and anything added to it is a recommended practice. Therefore, the obligatory prayer does not require a mushaf. This is only in the tarawih prayer or for one who performs the late-night voluntary prayer; there is no harm in reading from the mushaf.
