Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Dua after Fardh Salaat is accepted. Congregational Dua is also proven from the Shariáh. In view of the above, congregational Dua after Fardh Salaat is permissible. However, it is not compulsory i.e. it cannot be imposed. Neither can one condemn an individual if he did not participate in the congregational Du'a. Du'a can be made audibly and/or softly.
To pass the hands over the face after Du'aa is mentioned in authentic Ahaadith. (Tirmidhi vol.2)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
