Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. After this, a message was sent by one of the listening brothers asking a collection of questions. In one of them, he says: I have noticed, Honorable Shaykh, that some of the reciters of the Qur'an, when they are reciting and there are people around them listening to them, they repeat in unison saying "Allah." Is this matter prescribed, or is it a bid'ah (religious innovation)? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This has no basis. The matter of these people who listen to one of the reciters and then say "Allah" is a source of confusion and an innovation that has no basis. Rather, it contradicts the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:204] It is obligatory for the Muslim who listens to the Qur'an to pay attention to it, to be present with his heart, and to listen attentively. He should not utter words that cause confusion for those present and for the reciter, nor should he make movements that cause confusion for him and others. Rather, he should stop moving and stop making noise, and listen to the speech of Allah, for that is more hopeful that he will benefit from the Qur'an and that the mercy of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will reach him. Yes.

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
