Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 21768 )
Q5: Is reciting dhikr in congregation with a single voice from the methodology of the Sufis or the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community ?
A5: Collective dhikr is a religious innovation; because it is an invented matter, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718a , and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani) And what is prescribed is the remembrance of Allah the Exalted without a collective voice. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A5: Collective dhikr is a religious innovation; because it is an invented matter, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو ردevery novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error
كل محدثة بدعة، وكل بدعة ضلالة
