Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. We move on to a message from the questioner Khalid, who asks: What is the ruling on group dhikr? And I ask that you explain to me the hadith that Allah has angels who circulate in the mosques.
Answer:
Yes. Dhikr of Allah after the prayer, as stated in the evidence, is recommended, including the takbir, tasbih, and tahmid in the number specified by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)[An-Nisa 4:103] When you have completed the prayer, disperse in the land, seek from the bounty of Allah, and remember Allah much so that you may succeed. However, the dhikr is not to be done in groups. Group dhikr is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is the practice of the Sufis. The Muslim remembers Allah, each one remembering Allah individually after the prayer and at other times. Group dhikr is a bid'ah; this manner is an innovation, and Allah has not sent down any authority for it. Yes. The hadith that Allah has angels who circulate.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1282Sahih (Darussalam) seeking the circles of dhikr. This is an authentic hadith. The angels attend the gatherings of dhikr and testify to it on behalf of its participants before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This does not mean that they remember Allah in groups; rather, the dhikr of Allah referred to here is either the recitation of the Qur'an among themselves or the study of knowledge, which is a remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
