Question On Reciting Prayers Silently And Out Loud?
Asalamualaikum,
I heard that Zuhr and Asr are to be read silently whereas the other fard prayers are to be recited out loud. Does this only apply to congregational prayers? And does silent recitation still involve whispering? I recite all of my individual prayers in a whispering tone, so I was wondering if that is fine.
JazakAllah

The Sunnah instituted by the Prophet (sws) reached to us through Ijma and Tawatur is that in congregational prayers, Zuhr and Asr are to be recited silently by the Imam and first two rakats of Fajr, Maghrib and Isha are to be recited outloud by Imam with rest of the rakats to be recited silently by Imam (except for Fajr).
As for the person offering Salah alone, there is no explicit guidance availabe in Sunnah of Prophet (sws). It is from this above Sunnah of the Prophet (sws), some scholars inferred that same should be followed in those payers as well which are offered alone.
The truth is that there is no such guidance available and the matter has been left to the individual offering such prayer.

As for the silent recitation: it means that your voice should stick with you, it may involve some whispering as well.

JazakAllah Mr. Umer Qureshi.
Okay I see. So, can I recite all my prayers silently, or do I have to recite loudly at certain times?

Yes you can.
Except for Tahajjud Salah, where it is advised to recite Quran in a moderate voice, somewhere in-between loud recitation and silent recitation.
Please see for details regarding Tahajjud:
