If raising the voice in dhikr after prayer leads to it being done collectively, is that permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, you said: It is permissible to raise the voice in dhikr after prayer, but if this leads to the dhikr being done collectively by the worshippers, is that also permissible?
The Shaykh : Yes, in reality, I did not say: it is permissible. Rather, I said: What? It is from the Sunnah, meaning: it is the preferred practice. So it is from the Sunnah, without doubt.
As for performing this dhikr collectively, that is a religious innovation, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did not do that. Each one would recite the dhikr for himself, but they would raise their voices. Yes, after that, the left, the left, now the left... the left.
