Is it permissible to recite the talbiyah in a collective voice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to recite the talbiyah in a collective voice?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to recite the talbiyah in a collective voice, nor is it permissible to recite dhikr or takbir in a collective voice. This is an additional innovation (bid'ah). Performing an act of worship in a manner that was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an additional innovation, so it is not permissible. Each person should supplicate on his own during the tawaf and in other places, supplicating on his own with whatever supplications are easy for him. As for the collective voice, a person may be raising his voice with the people without knowing what the meaning is, without knowing what the meaning is. It is like a beast that follows the shepherd. This is not acceptable. Yes.
