Mic picking up Imaams voice in silent salaah

· 28 Rabiʻ I 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If due to sensitivity, the microphone picks up the Imam's voice in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of Zuhr, Asr, Esha and in the 3rd rakaat of Maghrib, does that count as having made Qiraat in a loud voice? Is Sajdah Sahw wajib? Please note that the Imam is not intentionally doing so... He is keeping the voice low but the mic picks it up.

Answer

No.

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