Collective Supplication at Iftar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it better to make collective supplication when breaking the fast, where the father makes the supplication and the others say "Ameen," or should each person make supplication individually?
Answer:
No specific supplication has been established for breaking the fast. However, if one makes supplication when breaking the fast and strives in it—seeking forgiveness, asking Allah to forgive him, to accept his repentance, and to accept from him—there is no harm in that. But it should not be collective; it should not be done with a collective voice, or with one person making the supplication and the others saying "Ameen." This is an innovation that has been introduced. Yes.
