Summary
Reciting dhikr aloud is generally permissible. In the Shafi'i school, dhikr after obligatory prayers is recommended to be done quietly unless the aim is to teach the congregation, while Imam al-Mutawalli held that this view applies only to mosques with the same worshippers each time. Since mosques in Malaysia are visited by different people, the common practice is to recite aloud for teaching purposes. Imams and worshippers are advised not to raise their voices so much that they disturb those praying, and the matter should not cause disputes because it is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara umumnya berzikir dengan kuat itu adalah diharuskan. Di sisi mazhab Syafi'i disunatkan untuk berzikir setelah menunaikan solat fardu secara perlahan melainkan jika bertujuan untuk mengajar makmum.
