Answer:

 

Imam record prayer

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth. If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

 

Your Question: I am bit concerned about our IMAM during the Fajr Prayer Our Imam used to record the sura which he recites during the prayer, he switch on & switch off the recorder while in prayer is it allowed……. Please advise

Although it would be best and closest to the Sunnah that the person praying or leading the prayer congregation concentrates completely on their prayers, the mere touching of a on/off switch of a recorder is not something which would invalidate one’s prayer.

 

If the ‘imam’ leading the prayer wishes to record his recitation for any reason whatsoever, it would be better if he starts the recording before he declares the ‘takbeer’ to start the prayer, and closes the recording after he has declared the ‘tasleems’ to signal the end of prayer. But if for any reason, the ‘imam’ chose to press the on/off switch on the recorder during the prayers, that by itself would not invalidate his prayers. And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
