The answer

It is prescribed for the worshipper to recite silently in a place where silence is enjoined and audibly in a place where audible recitation is enjoined. If one recites silently in a place where audible recitation is enjoined, or audibly in a place where silence is enjoined, then if it is out of necessity, there is no harm. However, if it is done intentionally without necessity, one has abandoned the , though their prayer remains valid. If a worshipper behind the Imam recites audibly, they disturb other worshippers. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade this, saying: "Let not some of you raise your voices over others in the Qur'an."
