Summary
Reciting dhikr and making supplications through a loudspeaker inside the mosque during prayer is permitted. The conditions are that it is done moderately, does not disturb people who are praying or sleeping, and does not give rise to showing off in the heart. Raising the voice during dhikr is likewise permitted when these conditions are met, following the view of Imam al-Sha'rani as cited in Ibn Abidin's Hashiyah Radd al-Muhtar.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dibolehkan berzikir dan berdoa dengan menggunakan pembesar suara di dalam masjid Ketika sembahyang dengan syarat perbuatan tersebut dilakukan dengan penuh kesederhanaan tidak mengganggu orang sedang solat, tidur dan tidak menimbulkan riak dalam hati.
