Listening To Recording In Namaz
Listening to Quran is the same as reciting in accordance with established Sunnah where Imam recites and the followers listen. Quran also hints to this fact (See Quran 7:204 ). Even in individual Salah, whether you’re reciting yourself or listening to Quran instead, it is effectively the same act. If a principle has been established in congregational Salah that one should listen to Qirat of Imam, which implies that listening is equivalent to reciting, then why can’t the same principle be applied to individual Salah? it is an ijtihadi application, but has a sound reasoning underneath. It is an application of a principle and not an addition.
