What is the ruling on repeating the dhikr and supplication with the imam after the tarawih prayer?

Question:
May Allah bless you. This questioner from Sudan has used a symbol for his name. He says: In Ramadan, during the tarawih prayer, the imam says after every four rak'ahs, "Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah al-Azim" three times, and he says, "O Allah, You are the Pardoner, the Generous, You love to pardon, so pardon us" three times. The worshippers then repeat it after him. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in your view regarding this?

Answer:
This practice is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is not permissible to engage in it. The imam must fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic and abandon this practice. The ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) must not follow him in doing so if he does it, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) . Adhering to these dhikr phrases during the tarawih prayer, where the imam says them and the ma'mum repeat them in a loud voice, is among the innovations that . Yes.
