Is it permissible for me, a prisoner, to recite silently in Fajr, Maghrib and Isha to avoid annoying my non-Muslim cellmate?

Question

Is it permissible for me, a prisoner, to recite silently in Fajr, Maghrib and Isha to avoid annoying my non-Muslim cellmate?

Answer

When one is a munfarid (i.e. performing Salaat alone), then it is permissible to recite silently in even the Jahri Salaat. You may recite silently in the cell since you are not performing Salaat in jamaa't.
