Reciting du’aa’ for forgiveness in unison following prayer
Question: 32443
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah:
Saying du’aa’ out loud following the five daily prayers and the regular Sunnah prayers, or reciting du’aa’ after the prayers in unison as a regular practise is a reprehensible innovation (bid’ah), because it is not reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) did anything like that.
Fataawa Islamiyyah, 1/319
