Fatwa on Reciting of Salato Salam aloud after Jama'at
Fatwa by Hadrat Mufti Jalaluddin Ahmad Amjadi
(Summarized of a detailed Fatwa)

Regarding reciting Quran and Wazaif aloud, Imam Ahmad Raza Muhaddise Dehalvi writes that if it causes disturbance among people then in this situation it's not only a must but it's a Wajib to make that person stop this loud recitation.
(Fatawa Rizvia, Part 3, Page 596)

At another place he writes that as much loudness of recitation which will disturb someone's sleep and cause distress to an ill person is not allowed.
(Fatawa Rizvia, Part 9, Page 126)

Therefore if reciting Salato Salam aloud causes disturbance among people who came later and are performing Salah, its WAJIB for people to make them STOP that loud recitation.

It's a must for the ones who are reciting aloud to stop this. Instead everyone recite separately and quietly.

This practice of reciting Salato Salam after Fajr and Asr among Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat and the followers of Alahazrat is INDEED WRONG. Because the late comers lose concentration in their Salah, their minds get distracted, tend to make mistakes and they cannot perform Salat properly.

Therefore it's a must for Muslims to not to recite Salato Salam like this and it's a Wajib for responsible people to work on this sensitive issue to stop this. If have the ability to stop this and have not done nothing about it then they will be among Ghunahgars (Sinners). Its in Hadis Sharif that when people see some Na Ja'iz act (illegal activity according to Shariat) and do not erase it (make efforts to stop that) then soon Allah Tala will indulge them into HIS Azaab (Great Punishments).
(Mishkat Sharif, Page 436)

If people want to gain the Barkat of reciting Durood-o-Salam after Salah then do it separately and quietly.

Therefore if, with loud speaker or without, Salat o Salam recitation causes disturbance in peoples Salah then it's Wajib for people to make that Imam stop this activity. If have the ability to stop it and don't do anything about it then they will Ghunahgars (Sinners). It's a must for Imam to stop reciting Salat-o-Salam in this fashion immediately.

After Jummah Prayer, must not start Salato Salam until everyone has performed their Salah.
(Fatawa Barkatia, page 309, Kutub Khana Amjadia, Basti UP)

Allah Tala knows the best.
