Reading from a paper how to perform salaah while performing salaah

Question

I have been amongst the Muslims who have rarely prayed, but now I started praying. I don't know some words or didnt memorize some words. Is it permissible for me to pray with a paper beside me explaining all the actions and words of Salaah?

Answer

No. You may read the paper out of salaah. Only read that which you have learnt of by heart in prayer.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
