Question
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ
الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
A person who recites Nawafil
Salah alone at night has the choice, whether he recites in a low voice or in an
audible voice. Therefore, in view of the question asked, you can recite audibly
while offering the Salat-ut-Taubah
alone at night provided reciting audibly does not disturb the family members.
It is
mentioned in Muheet Burhani:
”أما
نوافل الليل لا بأس بالجهر فيها لأنه مشروع في فرائض الليل“[1]
Allamah Zain bin Ibrahim bin
Muhammad known as Ibn Nujaim al-Misri al-Hanafi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes in Al-Bahr al-Ra'iq:
أن المتنفل بالنهار يجب عليه
الاخفاء مطلقا والمتنفل بالليل مخير بين الجهر والاخفاء إن كان منفردا، أما إن كان
إماما فالجهر واجب [2]
Sadr al-Shariah Badr al-Tariqah Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zmi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes: “It is Wajib to recite in a low voice in the daytime Nafl Salah and it is optional in the night while offering Nafl Salah alone, and if Nafl Salah is offered congregationally, reciting audibly is Wajib”.[3]

عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
