Question:
What is the ruling on collective dhikr after the obligatory prayers, recited in a loud voice inside the mosque?

Answer:
Collective dhikr is a bid'ah (religious innovation). As for dhikr after the prayer, it is prescribed, but it is not collective. Each person remembers Allah individually and raises his voice in dhikr. As for the collective form, no, that is a bid'ah.
