السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Yesterday I've been asked if we should recite the Qur'an out loud when praying alone...As a kid I had this piece of information that we shouldn't, so I replied "No, it's only for those who lead the prayer".
For some reason I wanted to double-check the info. and so I went to my sister to ask her. She replied that she didn't read anything about it & she brought a book that described how prophet mohammad PBUH prayed "صفة صلاة النبي". We started reading a little, but we still wasn't 100% sure.
So I started googling the question & found this fatwa.
Should a person who is praying alone recite Qur’aan out loud?
What is the ruling on reciting out loud in prayer for one who is praying alone? Is it permissible to recite silently?
Praise be to Allaah.
Reciting out loud in Fajr prayer and in the first two rak’ahs of Maghrib and ‘Isha’ is Sunnah for both one who is leading the prayers and one who is praying alone. If a person recites silently there is no sin on him, but that means that he is neglecting a Sunnah. If the person who is praying alone thinks that reciting silently helps him to focus more in prayer, then that is o.k., because it was narrated that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed at night, sometimes he would recite out loud and sometimes he would recite silently, as was reported by ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). For one who is leading the prayers, the Sunnah is always to recite out loud, following the example of the Prophet (S) and because that enables the congregation to benefit by hearing the words of Allaah, whether the prayer is fard (obligatory) or naafil (supererogatory).
And Allaah is the Source of Strength.
Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’ah li Samaahat al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him), 11/116.
So I realised, I don't even know all the basics of the main thing that defines me as a Muslim.
