Question:
A group of Muslims among us in Oman says that when a Sunni imam leads them in prayer and they bow two rak'ahs after the taslim, when we ask them, they say that these two rak'ahs make up for the deficiency because the imam spoke during the prayer when he said "Ameen." What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is ignorance or misguidance. It is ignorance if they did not intend this, or misguidance if they intended it. And these two rak'ahs are an innovation, an innovation that is not permissible, and Allah does not accept them from them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b And saying "Ameen" in the prayer is a sunnah, the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Whoever's ameen matches Sunan Ibn Majah 852Sahih (Darussalam)" so he says "Ameen" and raises his voice with the ameen. This is a sunnah.

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو ردIt was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When the reciter says Amin, then say Amin, for if a person’s Amin coincides with the Amin of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
