When the Imam forgets to recite out loud in the second Rak`ah of the Maghrib Prayer in spite of the Ma'mums' drawing his attention through saying 'Glo

Q 1: an Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) forgot to recite out loud in the second Rak`ah (unit of Prayer) of Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer though the Ma'mums (persons being led by an Imam in Prayer) drew his attention. Is it permissible for the Jahri Salah (Prayer recited out loud) to be offered without loud recitation?


A: Loud recitation in the first two Rak`ahs of Maghrib Prayer is an act of Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet); if the Imam forgets to do so, his Salah will still be valid and he will not be required to do anything in compensation.
