Question:
What is the ruling on some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) saying "La ilaha illa Allah" in a loud voice after the iqamah prayer is finished?
Answer:
It is not customary to make a specific du'a' (supplication) after the iqamah. However, if a person makes du'a' between himself and Allah without raising his voice, there is no harm, provided he does not commit to a specific du'a'. It is permissible to say "La ilaha illa Allah," or "O Allah, forgive me," or "O Allah, accept my repentance and guide me," but without raising the voice. He should not persist in a specific du'a', but rather supplicate with whatever is easy for him. If he does not make du'a', there is nothing required of him; he owes nothing.
