It qiraa’ah jahriyyah (reading aloud) permitted in nafl/sunnan salaah?

fatwa-tt January 28, 2016

Question:

It qiraa’ah jahriyyah (reading aloud) permitted in nafl/sunnan salaah?

Is reading aloud permitted or ta’leem purposes?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Qiraa’ah Jahriyyah, (reciting aloud) is permitted in the Nawafil (optional Salaahs) of the night. The Nawafil of the day should be recited quietly to one’s self and not aloud.[1] Thus, one should avoid reciting aloud in Nafl Salaah during the day. One may recite quietly or aloud in Nafl Salaah during the night without disturbing others.

The same ruling would apply to the Sunnah Salaahs of the day and night.[2]

It was narrated from Abu Qataadah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out at night, and he saw Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) praying in a low voice, then he passed by ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) who was praying in a loud voice. When they met with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I passed by you, O Abu Bakr, and you were praying in a low voice.” He said: I made the One with Whom I was conversing hear me, O Messenger of Allah. And he said to ‘Umar: “I passed by you and you were praying in a loud voice.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, I wake up the sleeper and drive away the shaytaan. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O Abu Bakr, raise your voice a little.” And he said to ‘Umar: “Lower your voice a little.”( Sunan Abi Dawud 1329)

There would be leeway for reciting aloud in Nafl during the day for the purpose of Ta’leem (teaching).[3]

وَقَدْ أَفَادَ أَنَّ الْمُتَنَفِّلَ بِالنَّهَارِ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الْإِخْفَاءُ مُطْلَقًا وَالْمُتَنَفِّلَ بِاللَّيْلِ مُخَيَّرٌ بَيْنَ الْجَهْرِ وَالْإِخْفَاءِ إنْ كَانَ مُنْفَرِدًا

(قَوْلُهُ بِلَا جَهْرٍ) تَصْرِيحٌ بِمَا عُلِمَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ كَالنَّفْلِ؛ لِأَنَّ النَّفَلَ النَّهَارِيَّ لَا يَكُونُ جَهْرًا

شرح معاني الآثار (2/ 88)

وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّظَرُ فِي ذَلِكَ لَمَّا اخْتَلَفُوا أَنَّا رَأَيْنَا الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ يُصَلَّيَانِ نَهَارًا فِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ وَلَا يُجْهَرُ فِيهِمَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَرَأَيْنَا الْجُمُعَةَ تُصَلَّى فِي خَاصٍّ مِنْ الْأَيَّامِ وَيُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَكَانَتْ الْفَرَائِضُ هَكَذَا حُكْمُهَا مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا يُفْعَلُ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ نَهَارًا خُوفِتَ فِيهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْهَا يُفْعَلُ فِي خَاصٍّ مِنْ الْأَيَّامِ جُهِرَ فِيهِ .

وَكَذَلِكَ جُعِلَ حُكْمُ النَّوَافِلِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا يُفْعَلُ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ نَهَارًا خُوفِتَ فِيهِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ ،
