Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to perform takbir and tahlil collectively or individually? What are the phrasings prescribed by the Shari'ah for takbir? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Takbir is individual, not collective. Collective takbir is a bid'ah (religious innovation); collective takbir is a bid'ah. Takbir is to be done individually, with every Muslim saying it for himself. Its form is to say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. And he repeats this. Yes.
