The ruling on raising the voice in takbir and tahlil after the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. After performing the obligatory prayer, a group of worshippers engage in the dhikr "La ilaha illa Allah" and say "La ilaha illa Allah" in a loud voice more than one hundred or two hundred times. Is this prescribed?

Answer:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation), except for the ten takbirs after Fajr. And after Maghrib, the ten takbirs, and for the other prayers, the transmitted dhikr is: "There is no god but
Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
[Ghafir 40:14]
There is no god but Allah, He has no partner. O Allah, help me to remember You, give thanks to You, and worship You well. O Allah, there is no one who can withhold what You have given, nor anyone who can give what You have withheld, nor anyone who can avert what You have decreed, and the power of the powerful is of no avail to You against You." They raise their voices, each one individually, not in a collective voice. Whether it is a hundred or a thousand, this is an innovation. Raising the voice collectively is not what was transmitted. This is what is intended. This is what was transmitted. Yes.
