Reciting Ameen softly

· 17 Rajab 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to know about the saying of ameen in low tone according to Imam abu hanifa as it is contrary to the practice of the Sahaba. Please elaborate. I also know that ameen is a dua and according to quran dua should be said in a low tone but why should we do it when no Sahabi has done it?

Answer

According to the Hanafi Mazhab, Ameen should be recited softly. This is proven from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Sahaba.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
