Changing the tone of your voice during the recitation
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Some of the imaams (who lead the prayers) in the mosques try to stir the hearts of the people and [spiritually] affect them by changing the tone of their voices - sometimes during the taraaweeh prayer and the qunoot supplication. And I have heard some of the people disapprove of that. So what is your opinion regarding this - may Allaah protect and preserve you?
Response:
That which I am of the opinion is that if this was done within the [stipulated] boundaries of the Sharee'ah - without being excessive, then there is no harm in that. [I say this] because Abu Moosaa al-Ash'aree said to the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam):
((If I knew that you were going to be listening to my recitation, then I would have beautified it for you)), transmitted by 'Abdur-Razzaaq No.4178.
