Dought & Clear, - Imam and congregation offering du‘aa’ together following Jumu‘ah prayer.

We pray the two fard rak'ahs of Jumu'ah, then after that the imam
turns around and we all offer du'aa' together. Is what we do correct?
Praise be to Allah.
What the believers should do is follow the example of the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) with regard to what he did
and did not do. He should do what the Messenger (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) did and refrain from that from which the
Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) refrained. Allah,
may He be exalted, said (interpretation of the meaning):
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good
example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and
the Last Day ..."
[al-Ahzaab 33:21].
Du'aa' by the imam after an obligatory prayer – Jumu'ah or otherwise –
with the congregation saying Ameen is something that was not done by
the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or byany of
his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). If it was good, they
would have done it before us.
Based on that, this action comes under the heading of reprehensible
innovation. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: "Whoever among you lives after I am gone will see great
disputes; you must adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly
Guided Caliphs. Hold on to it andcling fast to it. And beware of
newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is an
innovation and every innovation is a going astray."
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4607; classed assaheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh
Abi Dawood.
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"Whoever introduces something into this matter of ours that is notpart
of it will have it rejected."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari,2697; Muslim, 1718.
Ash-Shaatibi (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned congregational
du'aa' after the obligatory prayer in his book al-I'tisaam
(1/349-355), and explained that this is an innovation, because that
was not done by the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) or byany of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) or
any of the imams (leading scholars)after them.
What you must do is refrain from this innovation and strive to recite
the adhkaar and du'aa's that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) used to say after the prayer. And whoever wants to offer
du'aa' may do so quietly.And Allah knows best.
