Question : We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify for us what the stronger opinion is in this issue, the issue of raising the voice in dhikr after the obligatory prayer?
Answer : Yes. The stronger opinion in this issue is that it is recommended for the one who prays to raise his voice in dhikr after the prayer, because it is established in Sahih al-Bukhari a hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) in which he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used toSahih al-Bukhari 841 This is a recommended practice that has been abandoned, unfortunately. In fact, if a person raises his voice, people look at him. Some scholars say that the best is to raise the voice, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his voice to teach the Ummah. We will lengthen the answer regarding this; I am now reading to you that he used to raise his voice, and that he used to raise it for the sake of teaching.
If raising the voice had not been prescribed, he could have taught the people by saying, "When you have prayed, remember Allah thus and thus," just as he said to the Muhajir scholars: "Give charity, praise Allah, and say Allahu Akbar after every prayer thirty-three times." Then we say: Suppose he used to raise his voice to teach the people, why do we not say that he used to raise his voice to teach the people the essence of the dhikr and the manner of the dhikr, which is raising the voice?
Yes, if you read that a man next to you is making up what he missed of the prayer, and if you raised your voice you would disturb him, then in this case you should not raise your voice in a way that disturbs him, because it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to his companions while they were reciting in the prayer and raising their voices, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him): "Each of you is calling out to his companion, so do notAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 59:118."
So, if raising the voice in dhikr disturbs the person next to you, do not raise your voice in a way that disturbs him.

In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) it was the custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the compulsory congregational prayers.
