The Imam recites the Basmalah Aloud


Question :

I prayed in the mosque and I did not catch the congregational prayer, and so I prayed with some of the worshippers who had (also) missed the prayer and the Imam was reciting "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" aloud in the prayer; is this correct? Inform me, and may Allah benefit you.


Answer:

This Imam is a follower of Imam Ash-Shafi'i, who held the opinion that the Basmalah is a Verse of Surah Al- Fatihah and therefore must be recited aloud, and prayer behind him is correct and is accepted, and reciting the Basmalah aloud is permissible, but only sometimes, not always. This is the correct opinion which reconciles all of the evidences. And Allah knows best.
