Reciting Loudly In A Sirri (Silent) Salaah
Question
If a person makes loud Qiraat in Zuhr or Asr Salaah, is his Salaah valid?
Answer
If an Imaam was to read Qiraat loudly in Zuhr or Asr Salaah, that amount, in which Salaah will be valid (3 short verses), then he will have to perform Sajdah Sahw to rectify the situation.
As for the person who is praying alone, he will not have to do Sajdah Sahw.
