Is it enough to listen to the tasbihat uttered by the Muezzin aloud?
Share
The Details of the Question
- Should we say the tasbihat silently by accompanying the muezzin after the prayer in congregation? Are we regarded to have made tasbihat if we just listen to the muezzin?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is permissible to make tasbihat after prayer alone or in congregation.
The congregation accompanies the muezzin to utter the tasbihat and supplications after the prayers in congregation so that they will get more thawabs.
If the muezzin utters the tasbihat aloud, those who listen are regarded to have made tasbihat. However, it is better if they accompany (repeat) silently.
