Answer:

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

When one is performing those ṣalāhs wherein the qur’ān is recited loudly alone, one has a choice of either reciting the qur’ān audibly or silently. [i]

ويجهر بالقراءة في الفجر، وفي الركعتين الأوليين من المغرب والعشاء ان كان اماما ويخفي القراءة فيما بعد الأوليين. وان كان منفردا فهو مخير: ان شاء جهر وأسمع نفسه، وان شاء خافت. (مختصر القدوري (ص ١٠٠) دار ابن كثير)

قال الحصكفي في الدر: (ويخافت) المنفرد (حتما) أي وجوبا (إن قضى) الجهرية في وقت المخافتة، كأن صلى العشاء بعد طلوع الشمس

قال ابن عابدين في الحاشية: (قوله ويخافت المنفرد إلخ) أما الإمام فقد مر أنه يجهر أداء وقضاء (قوله في وقت المخافتة) قيد به لأنه إن قضى في وقت الجهر خير كما لا يخفى ح (قوله بعد طلوع الشمس) لأن ما قبلها وقت جهر فيخير فيه، لكن في بعض نسخ الهداية بعد طلوع الفجر
