The timing of the takbir during the transition between the pillars of prayer

Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: When is the takbir pronounced during the transition from one movement to another in the prayer? Is it after reaching the second position, or is the takbir during the transition?

Answer:
The default is that it is during the transition, but if one is distracted or forgets, that is excused. The default is that the place of transition is between the two pillars, from one pillar to the next. So the takbir is between his bowing in prostration until he reaches the ground; this is one place. Likewise, in standing up, from his rising until he is firmly standing. But if he forgets, or is ignorant, and does not say the takbir until after he has entered the second pillar, he is excused due to ignorance or forgetfulness.
