What is the ruling on collective tasbih?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that in our country, the congregation does this.
Answer:
The worshippers engage in collective tasbih with a loud voice. We say this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is a bid'ah. Tasbih is prescribed; tasbih after the prayer is prescribed.
And tahmid and takbir, thirty-three times each, each word thirty-three times, concluding the full hundred with: There is no god but Allah, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things Able. This is recommended, but individually, not in groups. As for doing it with one collective voice, that is a bid'ah.
Rather, each person glorifies Allah thirty-three times, praises Allah thirty-three times, and magnifies Allah thirty-three times, and says to complete the hundred: There is no god but Allah, alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things Able. Each person by himself, without a group and without a loud voice. Yes.
