The ruling on the imam raising his voice in supplication after the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Yemen says: Some of the people here have the habit that after the imam finishes the prayer, each of us performs the seeking of forgiveness and the prescribed remembrances after the prayer in a low voice. But then the imam makes supplication in an audible voice, and the followers say "Ameen" and respond to the supplication after the imam. Is this practice valid, or what is it?
rewarded.
Answer:
This is a religious innovation (bid'ah); it has no basis. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction). But each person should remember Allah and make supplication between himself and his Lord, reciting the prescribed remembrances and making supplication after the remembrances between himself and his Lord. There is nothing wrong with that.
And supplication before the closing salam is better; supplication before the salam is better. Because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the Companions the tashahhud, the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the Hellfire, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of life and death, and from the trial of the Dajjal, he ordered them to ask, and he said: So a person supplicates to his Lord at the end of the prayer, and if he supplicates after the remembrance following the salam, there is nothing wrong with it.
So the Sunnah for the believer when he says the salam from the obligatory prayer is to say: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah," three times, "O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it, as Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek forgiveness three times when he turned away from the prayer, and say:Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani).
And Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: "That when he said: he turned to the people." The imam, if he is an imam, then the imam, the one praying alone, and the congregation say after this: "There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things." And it is better to repeat it three times. Then he says: Sahih Muslim 594a All of this is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said the salam from the prayer, he said this.
And it is recommended to add ten times in Maghrib and Fajr:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) along with the aforementioned remembrance. He adds this remembrance in Fajr and Maghrib: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) ten times.
Then after this, he glorifies, magnifies, and praises [Allah] thirty-three times: "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah), "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah), and "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) thirty-three times. The total is ninety-nine. And he completes the hundred by saying:Muwatta Malik 20:131 This is recommended for the man and the woman after the obligatory prayer, meaning: the five obligatory prayers—Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. When he says the salam, he says: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah," Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani) "Our Lord, He is Peace, the One who grants peace to His servants. His name is Peace, and from Him comes peace. He is the One who grants peace to His servants. He is the One who bestows safety upon the servants from Him (Exalted and Majestic is He). Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." "Blessed" (Tubarakta) is an attribute of intensification that is not fitting except for Allah. Blessed is Allah, our Lord. It is not said: "Blessed are You, O so-and-so, upon us." No, this is a description of Allah [Al-A'raf: 54], [Al-Mulk: 1].
Then after this, he says:Muwatta Malik 20:131 And if he adds: that is also good. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) This and that have come. He repeats it three times after Zuhr, 'Asr, 'Isha', Maghrib, and Fajr, and says after it: Sahih Muslim 594a, and adds in Maghrib and Fajr: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) ten times.
Then he glorifies, praises, and magnifies thirty-three times after the five obligatory prayers: "Subhan Allah," "Alhamdulillah," and "Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times. This makes ninety-nine. Then he completes the hundred by saying: "There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things." And it is recommended that he say after this the Verse of the Throne: [Al-Baqarah: 255] and recite: [Al-Ikhlas: 1] and the two Mu'awwidhat (chapters of seeking refuge) as well. This is recommended. And he repeats: [Al-Ikhlas: 1] and the two Mu'awwidhat after Maghrib and after Fajr three times: [Al-Ikhlas: 1] and [Al-Falaq: 1] and [An-Nas: 1] after Fajr and Maghrib three times is better. Yes.

Then let him choose from the supplications what he likes and supplicate, and then let him choose from the requests what he wishes.
ثم ليختر من الدعاء أعجبه إليه فيدعو، ثم ليختر من المسألة ما شاءSo the Sunnah for the believer when he says the salam from the obligatory prayer is to say: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah," three times, "O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace.

None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the praise, [He gives life and causes death,] and He has power over all things
