The ruling on supplication after prayer with raising the hands

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: When the imam concludes the prayer and turns to face the people and recites the dhikr, does he make du'a' while remaining in that state facing the people, or does he turn to face the qiblah?

Answer:
First, the questioner said "recites the dhikr," and this contains an observation. This is because some of the people of innovation (bid'ah) recite dhikr and the attendees repeat it collectively. Collectively. This is bid'ah. However, the imam and the ma'mum each remember Allah for himself, without being linked to the others, and without it being a collective dhikr that they threaten with, this is bid'ah. So the imam remembers Allah for himself, and the ma'mum each remember Allah for themselves with what has been transmitted of dhikr after the prayers, such as the tahlil, the tahmid, the tasbih, the takbir, and other things that have been transmitted. As for gathering to remember Allah with one voice, this is bid'ah .
Supplication after prayer is also prescribed and is a time in which it is likely to be answered. Supplication after prayer and in the aftermath of prayer is prescribed and is a time in which it is likely to be answered. So the Muslim makes du'a' after prayer, whether it is an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one. However, he does not raise his hands; rather, he makes du'a' without raising his hands after the obligatory prayer. As for after a voluntary prayer, there is no harm in raising his hands in du'a'. He does not turn to face the qiblah; the imam does not turn to face the qiblah, but rather he makes du'a' while facing the ma'mum, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do that.
