Is it permissible to look at a paper and read verses or supplications while performing a fard prayer?

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is not permissible to look at a paper and read verses or supplications while performing a fard prayer. However, it is permissible to look at something and read long supplications while performing supererogatory prayers. However, it is necessary to avoid deeds that are described as “amal kathir”. Amal kathir is usually described in two ways: To make an onlooker who sees him in the act from a distance think that he is not performing a prayer or to do something three times on end without any interval like holding something and putting it on the ground, turning over the pages of a book and reading it, etc.
