Is it prescribed to raise the voice with dhikr after prayer in all cases?

The questioner : In some mosques, meaning the sunnah, this is not obligatory. For example, if one person is raising his voice and so on, he is busy.

The Shaykh : They throw their gazes at him. Now, their gazes are throwing at him, and perhaps, if Allah wills, you will understand. But we still have a point to note: if there is a man to your right or left, or near you, who is making up a missed prayer, then do not raise your voice, because you will harm him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: in the Qur'an. So if it harms him, do not do this. Remember Allah the Exalted quietly so that he is not harmed by it.

Another questioner : Is this not evidence for the statement of Ibn Khalid? Since a student in many questions, some of whom are delayed, if everyone raised their voices...

The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. Our master 'Abd al-Hamid was delayed; I do not know about him.

Another questioner : It is known, Shaykh, that people are delayed.

The Shaykh : No, it is not all the people.

Another questioner : If the mosque is full of people, but it blocks them.

The Shaykh : Okay, we agree with you if we assume that there are people at the end of the row making up prayers, and I am now in the middle of the row, his voice does not disturb them.

Another questioner : Yes, indeed, so if you said...

The Shaykh : There is a difference; all of them are taking from the one praying with the imam.

Another questioner : No, no, my brothers, but if we say it is an absolute sunnah.

The Shaykh : An absolute sunnah, as long as it does not harm.

Another questioner : That people are delayed.

The Shaykh : As long as it does not harm. Many sunnahs are conditioned by this: as long as it does not harm anyone. Also, I know that there is a difference between all voices being mixed, everyone raising their voices, and one person coming, may Allah bless him, with a strong voice. Which one causes the harm? The second one. Mixed voices, you see, do not disturb; they do not disturb anyone. But if people, for example, are whispering and one raises his voice, it disturbs. He raises his voice with all the dhikr. This is the apparent view, yes. This is the apparent view if we say that the order starts with tasbih, then tahmid, then takbir. But if we say you start with takbir, there is no problem.

Another questioner : Does he make them equal, or does he increase in...?

The Shaykh : That you do this time and this time is not necessary, meaning you bring them, for example, Fajr as a characteristic, and Zuhr as a characteristic, and 'Asr.

Another questioner : Why, brother, for example, we benefited in the past with Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar. Do we increase in them more than the others, or are they equal?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not by nature, it is not necessary.

Another questioner : There is nothing that distinguishes them.

The Shaykh : Considering the place, this is not necessary. There is no order that you start with La ilaha illa Allah or Subhan Allah. If it exists, there is no effect.
