Supplicating aloud after the Regular Non-Obligatory Prayers and the Obligatory Prayers

Question :

Some people supplicate aloud after the prayers, and often, they supplicate in loud tones along with singing and they impute disbelief to those who do not do so. And they also supplicate after the fixed Sunan prayers in congregation and they claim that it is obligatory and they consider this action to be from the firm Islamic law. And sometimes, they repeat their supplications twice or three times, while raising their hands. And they consider this deed to be one of the signs of Ahlus-Sunnah and they say regarding anyone who disagrees with them that he is not one of Ahlus-Sunnah. So please make clear for us the ruling of the pure Islamic law along with the evidence.

Answer:

Supplication after the five obligatory prayers and the fixed Sunan prayers, or supplicating after them in congregation as a regular practice is a hated innovation, because no such thing has been authentically reported from the Prophet, nor from his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. And whoever supplicates after the obligatory prayers or their fixed Sunan in congregation is in contradiction with Ahlus-Sunnah. And accusing those who contradict them and do not do as they do of being disbelievers or not from Ahlus-Sunnah is ignorance on their part and a deviation and a reversal of the truth.
