The Ruling on Collective Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the stronger position regarding collective supplication?
Answer:
There is no specific limit to it, but one person makes the supplication and the others say "Ameen." One person supplicates and the others say "Ameen"; this is what is prescribed, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate and ask for forgiveness in the qunut and other occasions. If he supplicates and the brothers present in the gathering say "Ameen," there is no harm. As for everyone saying, "O Allah, forgive us all," or "O Allah, have mercy on each one," with everyone shouting, we do not know of any specific limit for that. Rather, one person supplicates and the rest say "Ameen."
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
