Is it permissible to conclude a lesson with supplication?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner: For example, if in a study circle a student delivers a lesson, and then concludes the lesson with this supplication; does that mean it contradicts the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh: No, it does not contradict it. But it is well known that you have always emphasized: does he raise his voice or keep it low? ... He is reviving a sunnah, but perhaps you mean: does he raise his voice or keep it low? Otherwise, that is not included in your question, which is what I assumed. The correct answer is what you heard: how did the Messenger (peace be upon him) act? We understand from the previous detail that he sometimes raised his voice so that those around him would receive it from him. And if the Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "The prophets, all of them" - as he said - or something of that sort, , then the scholars are the heirs of the prophets. So if the one who recites or concludes the session with this supplication is following the path of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); then at that time he should follow him according to the detailed principle we detailed this morning, that the sunnah among scholars is a sunnah of action and a sunnah of omission. So when he raised his voice for the sake of teaching, we should raise our voices for the sake of teaching. But as detailed previously; it was not the custom of the Messenger (peace be upon him) to raise his voice (peace be upon him) with dhikr and supplication. So we sometimes raise our voices for teaching, and sometimes we keep it low in following the original practice.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: And they say "Ameen" to the supplication. Yes.

The questioner: And they raise their hands?

The Shaykh: And they raise them, yes, because there are many hadiths containing the encouragement - and peace be upon you - containing the encouragement to raise the hands in supplication, yes, So if he raises his hands in supplication; .
Yes.
