The answer

It is permissible to recite the Quran aloud in the mosque if it does not disturb anyone, for example, if the mosque is empty, and it is not done in a collective voice, and it is not taken as a regular practice. However, if it results in disturbance, it is forbidden, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Let not some of you raise their voices over others with the Quran." Similarly, if it is done in a collective voice, it is an innovation and a bid'ah. Whoever recites aloud in the mosque and takes it as a regular practice should be told to stop. As for someone who does so out of ignorance of the ruling, we hope they are excused and bear no sin.
