‎متابعة الإمام بالمصحفFollowing the Imam by Reading from the Mushaf يقول (سائل) ما حكم متابعة الإمام في التراويح بالمصحف؟ A questioner asks: “What is the ruling on following the Imaam during Taraweeh (night prayer in Ramadan) with reading from the Mushaf (written text of the Quran)?” ‎(الشيخ): لا يجوز، عليك ان تنصت، لا تتابعه ابدا It is not permissible. You must be listening attentively; you should never follow him reading. ‎إنما عليك ان تنصت للقراءة ولا تقرأ معه It is only upon you to listen to the recitation and not to read along. ‎لا تتابع معه في المصحف، ولا تقرأ معه أثناء قراءته Do not follow along with him in the Mushaf, and do not read along with him during his recitation. ‎كل ذلك مخالف، بل يخشى أن لا تصح صلاتك All of that is in opposition to the teachings of Islam—rather, it's feared that your prayer may not be correct. ‎لأنه يجب عليك الإنصات وجوبا، يجب عليك الإنصات، ومتابعة الإمام بالإنصات Because it's a must that you be attentive, mandatorily. You must listen, and follow along with the Imaam by listening attentively.
