I was under the notion that group dua was permitted under Shafi'i Madhab.

Salaam Akhi Amr,

As I said - sometimes I can be a bit too Deobandi friendly haha.

For example - in the matters of bid'ah - I prefer the Deobandi approach that there is actually no bid'ah hasanah in matters of religion (despite Shaykh ul Islam Izz ud-deen's categorisation). Also on matters like istigatha (e.g. despite the Shaykh ul Islam Shams-ud-deen Ramli and Ibn Hajar Haytami's opinions on it)

I guess I am a pseudo Deobandi-Shafi'i - if such a term exists!!
