#111 Taudhih Al-Hukmi : Hukum Zikir Berjemaah Secara Jahar (Kuat) Selepas Solat
Is congregational loud dhikr after prayer permissible, or is it a prohibited innovation?
Short answer
Making dhikr after prayer is agreed to be recommended. On loud congregational dhikr, scholars differ: some consider it recommended, some say it is not, and al-Shafi'i's view is that loud dhikr was only briefly for teaching, after which it is made quietly.

Summary
Making dhikr after prayer is agreed to be recommended. On loud congregational dhikr, scholars differ: some consider it recommended, some say it is not, and al-Shafi'i's view is that loud dhikr was only briefly for teaching, after which it is made quietly. The article concludes that the matter falls under legitimate scholarly disagreement, so it is inaccurate to condemn it as an absolutely prohibited innovation. Some views also limit loud dhikr to particular purposes or situations, such as teaching the followers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
