Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Is it recommended for a person to say takbir when he goes up stairs or what is called an elevator, and to say tasbih when he goes down, even if he is not traveling?
Answer:
That is good. It is all dhikr, and it is all good. Every ascent and every descent, even though its origin is in travel.
