The ruling on collective supplication after the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After the Friday prayer, the imam faces the qiblah and makes supplication, either with a general du'a' or with specific supplications for certain sick people by name. The ma'mum raise their hands and say "Ameen" with him until he finishes. Is there a basis for this action in the Sunnah?
Answer:
It has no basis in the Sunnah, and this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Therefore, it is not permissible to continue with this. Each person makes supplication for himself; it is not obligatory to make a collective supplication. Each person makes supplication for himself, for his needs, and for the needs of his brothers. Yes.
