Reciting the Dhikr Aloud After the Obligatory Prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) recited after the obligatory prayers said aloud or silently?

Answer:
Aloud. They are said aloud after the taslim (closing salam); they recite them aloud. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and he was young at the time, that he would say:
We knew when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer when we heard the dhikr,كنا نعرف انصراف الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم من الصلاة إذا سمعنا الذكر،
This indicates that they recite them aloud.
