Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If one intentionally recites quietly in a place where loud recitation is required, or vice versa, their prayer is invalid. However, if it was due to forgetfulness or ignorance of the ruling, the prayer is valid. If one remembers during the recitation of Al-Fatiha or the surah, there is no need to repeat what was recited incorrectly.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
If one intentionally recites loudly in a place where silence is required, or vice versa, their prayer is invalid according to the most cautious opinion. If it was due to forgetfulness or ignorance of the ruling or the meaning of loud and silent recitation, the prayer is valid. If the forgetful person remembers or the ignorant person learns during the recitation, they should continue and do not need to repeat what they have recited.
