How loud does one have to recite the Quran in Salaah

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

1) According to the Hanafi Mazhab, one should not recite the Quran behind the imam, whether it be loudly or silently.[1]

When praying individually, one is minimally required to recite in such a tone that he can understand himself.[2]

2) We issue rulings only according to the Hanafi Mazhab.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
