The Ruling on Collective Dhikr After the Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We pray in the mosque, and when we finish the prayer, we recite Ayat al-Kursi, we glorify Allah, we praise Allah, and we say Allahu Akbar in a collective voice. Then, after that, the imam stands and makes supplication in an audible voice, and the worshippers say "Ameen" to his supplication. Then, when he finishes the supplication, he says: "And mercy for us and for you, and for our parents and our deceased, and for your deceased, and for the deceased of the Muslims." Is this permissible? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), it has no basis, and it is not permissible. However, a person should recite for himself; he should recite Ayat al-Kursi between himself and himself after the prayer, between himself and himself. He should glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times, and say Allahu Akbar thirty-three times by himself, without a collective voice. Each person does it by himself, whether he is ahead of his brother or behind him. He should not seek to make the voice collective, neither in the tasbih (glorification) nor in the recitation. Rather, each person should recite Ayat al-Kursi for himself, between himself and himself, and glorify Allah with himself. If he raises his voice with the dhikr, there is no harm in it, because dhikr after the prayer is prescribed. Raising the voice with dhikr after the prayer is prescribed, but it is not collective. Each person raises his voice in his own way, without needing to consider his brother's voice. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
