Loud recitation does not invalidate the prayer

Question

There is a Qasimi who has completed his studies. In the audible (jahri) prayers he recites so loudly that the voice reaches outside the mosque. Some people objected, and he excused himself by saying that reciting quietly does not move the heart and there is also a fear of forgetting. Does this bring about makruh tanzihi or makruh tahrimi in the prayer?

Answer

The prayer will not become makruh because of this, but there is also no need for it, because passers-by are of every kind: some show respect and some do not. However, if the mosque is somewhere near a road, the voice will inevitably go out, even if the loudness is moderate.
