Question
Is it correct to surmise that young scholars using microphones for Salaat and allowing their Salaat to be broad cast into the homes for ladies to hear, may be motivated by show, particularly in the Fajr Salaat when the number of saffs is few, and in many Musjids just one or a half a saff? There appears to be no obvious reason or need for a microphone. If not show, what else could be a reasonable rationale?
Answer
In fact, the only reason why the young and even old morons (they are not scholars) desire their recitation to be broadcast into the houses is riya and takabbur. Furthermore, they have immoral leanings. They want to impress the womenfolk, hence they are entrapped in their nafsaaniyat and victims of Talbeesul Iblees. It is not permissible to use a microphone for Salaat.
