بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Islam Allows to supplicate in Congregation with a particular Goal. Examples like supplicating together for forgiveness, supplicating together for requesting Rain, witr etc..If there is No goal of asking ALLAH and it just becomes a formality or worship i.e. After every prayer, then there is no basis in Shariah.
The Proofs for supplicating in congregation are as follows:
1.) From the Quran Chapter 24 Verse 31 Where ALLAH Azwajal says:
And O you Believers! turn all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.
2.) This Hadith Qudusi of Imam Nawwi (Rah) also found in Sahih Al- Muslim:
مُلْكِي شَيْئًا يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ قَامُوا فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلُونِي فَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مَسْأَلَتَهُ مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ كَمَا يَنْقُصُ الْمِخْيَطُ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْبَحْرَ
O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of jinns also all stand in one plain ground and you ask Me and I confer upon every person what he asks for, it would not. in any way, cause any loss to Me (even less) than that which is caused to the ocean by dipping the needle in it. http://sunnah.com/urn/262460
- (24) [حسن صحيح] وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه:
أنَّ رسولَ الله - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَعِدَ المنبر فقال:
"آمين، آمين، آمين".
قيل: يا رسول الله! إنَّك صعدت المنبر فقلت: (آمين، آمين، آمين)؟ فقال:
"إنَّ جبريلَ عليه السلام أتاني فقال: مَنْ أدْرك شهر رمضان، فلم يُغفر له، فدخل النارَ؛ فأبْعده الله، قُلْ: (آمين)، فقلتُ: (آمين)، ومن أدْرك أبويه أو أحدَهما، فلم يبُرَّهما، فمات، فدخل النار؛ فأبعده الله،
قل: (آمين). فقلت: (آمين)، ومن ذُكرت عنده، فلم يصلِّ عليك، فمات، فدخل النار؛ فأبْعده الله، قل: (آمين). فقلت: (آمين) ".
رواه ابن خزيمة، وابن حبان في "صحيحه" واللفظ له.
قال العلامة الألباني رحمه الله : (حسن صحيح / صحيح الترغيب:1679 ) وقال المحدث مقبل الوادي : (حسن يرتقي إلى الصحيح لغيره / الصحيح المسند : 1298)

Umm Darda' reported:My husband reported that he heard Allah's Mes- senger (ﷺ) as saying: He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the Angel commissioned (for carrying supplication to his Lord) says: Aameen, and it is for you also. Sahih Muslim 2732 b,2895
Hadith that Muslim collected from Ibn `Abbas.Further, Ibn Jarir recorded that Abu Ishaq said that whenever Mu`adh would finish reciting this Surah,
فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَـفِرِينَ
And give us victory over the disbelieving people, he would say "Aameen".[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
Harun said "Aameen'' to his brother's prayer. And Allah answered Musa's prayer. Allah said:
﴿قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَّعْوَتُكُمَا﴾
(Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted.) `in destroying Fir`awn's people.
﴿قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَقِيمَا﴾
(Verily I have answered your prayers (both of you). So you both keep to the straight way) So as I have answered your prayer, you should remain steadfast on My command.' [Tafsir Ibn Kathir Yoonus 10:89]]
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the supplication (Qunut) daily for a month at the noon, afternoon, sunset, night and morning prayers. When he said: "Allah listens to him who praises Him" in the last rak'ah, invoking a curse on some clans of Banu Sulaym, Ri'l, Dhakwan and Usayyah, and those who were standing behind him said: Aameen. Sunan Abi Dawud 1443
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَزْمٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ قُرَّةَ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا وُلِدَ لِي إِيَاسٌ دَعَوْتُ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَطْعَمْتُهُمْ، فَدَعَوْا، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَعَوْتُمْ فَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فِيمَا دَعَوْتُمْ، وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ فَأَمِّنُوا، قَالَ: فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ بِدُعَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ فِي دِينِهِ وَعَقْلِهِ وَكَذَا، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي لَأَتَعَرَّفُ فِيهِ دُعَاءَ يَوْمِئِذٍ.
Mu'awiya ibn Qurra said, "When Iyas was born to me, I invited a group of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I fed them and they made supplication. I said, 'You have made supplication, so may Allah bless you for your supplication. If I make supplication, then you say, "Aameen".' He went on, 'I made a lot of supplication for him for his deen, his intellect and things like that.' He added, 'I still recognize the supplication of that day in him." [Al-Adab Al-Mufrad Hadith 1255]
When to say Aameen
Mu'aath Al-Qaari supplicated during Ramadhaan saying: 'O Allaah! Rain is not falling" so people said: "Aameen" After Salaah he told them: "You were so hasty saying Aameen. Let me supplicate and then say it." One should wait until the Imaam supplicates and then say Aameen.

فهذا لا بأس به إذا فُعل أحياناً ، فإن كان ذلك عادة مستمرة كان بدعة
There is nothing wrong with it if it is done occasionally, but if it becomes a custom that is done regularly, then it is a bid‘ah (innovation).

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ascended the minbar and said: “Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, you ascended the minbar and said, ‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadaan comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.”
