Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: At the end of the event or lecture, the lecturer makes a supplication and raises his hands, and we, the attendees, say "Ameen" after him. What is the ruling on that? And what is the reported supplication for closing a gathering?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with making a supplication at the end of a lecture or at the end of a lesson, and the attendees say "Ameen" to his supplication; because this is from the good and is required of the Muslim, and it is the closing of gatherings of remembrance. The closing of the gathering is to say: "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, astaghfiruka Allahumma wa atubu ilayk" (Glorified are You, O Allah, and with Your praise, I seek Your forgiveness, O Allah, and I repent to You). Yes.
