Is it permissible to recite the Qur’an in a group with one voice, considering that the noble prophetic hadith, “No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves,” apparently refers to communal recitation?
"The scholars have differed regarding reading the Qur'an collectively in one voice without listening (to each other). The Hanbalis and Shafi'is deemed it praiseworthy, while the Hanafis and Malikis considered it disliked due to the abandonment of listening and the disruption it causes among them. However, gathering to read the Qur'an and study it is permissible and virtuous, as indicated by a hadith in Muslim, and this is the view of the majority of scholars."
