Is there any harm if we supplicate to Allah collectively in this gathering?

The student : If you see no harm, Shaykh, does that mean we can supplicate together on the occasion of our gathering?

The Shaykh : How?
The student : If you see no harm, on the occasion that we came to visit you—also—let us supplicate to Allah collectively.
Another student: On the occasion of this gathering where we came to visit you and benefit from you.

The Shaykh : Pardon me.
The student : Do you see supplication in the form of a gathering, for example,The Shaykh : where one person supplicates and the rest say "Ameen"?

The Shaykh : And he says, "If you see no harm in that."

The Shaykh : Yes, yes. We have a view regarding the absolute and the restricted. The absolute texts of the Book and the Sunnah are applied in their absolute sense, and the other restricted texts are placed in their proper contexts. Just as it is not permissible to restrict the absolute, it is not permissible to make the restricted absolute. The two matters are often confused by some of the people of hadith. I recall that one of them, I do not know if it was in Pakistan or India, wrote a treatise supporting collective supplication after the prayer.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : He argues with the general texts. I see this as an error. In fact, I say that the origin of every innovation among the innovations that Imam al-Shatibi calls "additional innovations" is the application of general texts that the Salaf did not apply. Therefore, I was not pleased with what that worthy man wrote because he contradicted the practical Sunnah. As you know, it is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at all that he supplicated collectively after the prayer as they do today, facing the worshippers and raising his voice to supplicate, which may disturb some of those who joined the prayer late, and they say "Ameen" to his supplication. This is contrary to the Sunnah. Therefore, I have stated in some tapes that the Sunnah—and here I return to say: "There is no dispute in terminology"—just as the scholars divided the Sunnah into verbal, practical, and approved, I divided the Sunnah into two categories: practical and omitted. I warn some people: it is not practical and omitted; rather, what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) omitted, we omit, and what he did, we do. So this collective supplication after the prayers is an omitted Sunnah. How do we take the general texts and form a conclusion that this is a Sunnah? What did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do throughout his prayers? He omitted the Sunnah. We are now in a session where it is appropriate for us to apply the absolute. So if you supplicate and we say "Ameen," I see nothing wrong with that.
The student : Shaykh, he supplicates and we say "Ameen." We are, in any case, a gathering, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : No, we are, in any case,The Shaykh : proposing.
The student : Very well. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, Master of the Day of Judgment. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim, for You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, send peace upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent peace upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim, for You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, we ask You by the fact that You are Allah, there is no deity but You, the One, the Eternal, who begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him. O Allah, benefit us with what You have taught us, teach us what benefits us, and increase us in knowledge. O Allah, purify our hearts from hypocrisy, our deeds from showing off, our tongues from lying, and our eyes from betrayal. For You know the treachery of the eyes and what the breasts conceal. O Allah, fulfill our needs, heal our sick and the sick of the Muslims. Remove the affliction, O Lord of mankind, and heal, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no illness. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, cowardice and miserliness, the burden of debt, and being overpowered by men. O Allah, guide us to what You love and are pleased with. O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You have given, nor anyone who can give what You have withheld, and there is no one who can avert what You have decreed, and the might of the mighty is of no avail against You. O Allah, we ask for Your pleasure and Paradise, and we ask for Your pardon from the Fire by Your mercy. Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any rancor toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are the Most Kind, the Most Merciful. Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. And may Allah the Exalted send blessings upon the best of His creation, Muhammad, and his family and all his Companions. By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

The Shaykh : Ameen. May Allah reward you with good, and may He accept your supplication.
The student : O Allah, Ameen. We ask Allah for your well-being, O Shaykh.
Another student: Very well, thank you.

The Shaykh : Welcome. May Allah reward you, and may Allah thank you for your effort. Welcome, you are welcome.
The student : In the context of, do we pray in congregation?
