The Imam raising his voice for the dhikr after the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for the imam to recite the dhikr after the prayer in a loud voice so that the people know?

Answer:
Yes, the dhikr after the prayer consists of takbirat (saying Allahu akbar) which are recited loudly. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and he was a young boy at the time, that we knew the end of the prayer by the dhikr when we heard it.
We knew the end of the prayer by the dhikr when we heard it,كنا نعرف انقضاء الصلاة إلا بالذكر إذا سمعناه،
Yes.
