Question : The takbir, Honorable Shaykh, what is its ruling, what is its form, and what is its time on the night of the festival?
Answer : The takbir is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice) by Allah’s command regarding it, as He said:[Al-Baqarah 2:185]. Its form is: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. If you wish, you may say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. Its time is from the setting of the sun on the last day of Ramadan, meaning from the confirmation of the entry of the month of Shawwal, until the imam’s presence for the festival prayer.
Answer : The takbir is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice) by Allah’s command regarding it, as He said:
and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you
وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ
