Summary
Reciting aloud in the Maghrib, Isha and Fajr prayers is among the recommended manners of the prayer (sunat hai'ah). If an imam or a follower recites silently in a prayer where loud recitation is recommended, it is disliked because a recommended act is left out, but the prayer is not invalidated. Praying behind such an imam is valid and does not need to be repeated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami nyatakan sekali lagi bahawa solat di belakang imam yang membaca perlahan di dalam solat yang disunatkan membaca kuat seperti Maghrib, Isyak dan Subuh adalah sah dan tidak perlu diulang kembali solat tersebut
