Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the Imam alone reciting the dhikr after the prayer aloud, and reciting it in a melodious manner as if he is reciting the Qur'an?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation); the manner is an innovation. As for the dhikr itself, it is prescribed, but not in this manner where he recites it melodiously and the others remain silent. This is not permissible.
