The ruling on supplication after prayer and the congregation saying "Ameen"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If one of them makes a supplication and the others say "Ameen" to his supplication, Shaykh Salih, what is the guidance?
Answer:
To deliberate the prayer and adhere to this is an innovation (bid'ah) and is not permissible. May Allah send blessings upon... Rather, one should supplicate alone, separate from the others. These are customs and traditions that you have inherited. Allah...
Without evidence and without jurisprudence (fiqh). The obligatory thing is to abandon these customs that contradict the prescribed way and to proceed according to the prescribed manner. If something is unclear, one should ask the reliable scholars who follow the Sunnah and take their statements. As for customs and traditions, if they contradict the Shari'ah, they are ineffective and there is no reward in them, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not accept, O Muslim, to come with deeds that Allah rejects and does not accept, so that you bear the fatigue and the sin, all of that due to following customs and traditions that contradict the religion? Yes.

اللهم.Whoever introduces into our matter something that is not part of it, it is rejected, and in another narration: Whoever performs a deed that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected.
