The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when they enter the elevator, recite the supplication for riding, and when it goes up they say takbir, and when it goes down they say tasbih. Is this action correct?
The Shaykh:
As for saying takbir when it goes up and tasbih when it goes down, this is correct. As for reciting the supplication for riding, no. The verse "And He has made for you from the cattle that which you ride" is specific to land and sea vehicles, means of travel. Yes.
The questioner:
If the Shaykh is in the elevator, if he is in the elevator and it goes up, he says takbir if he is in the elevator.
The Shaykh:
If he says takbir, that is fine, because takbir is for ascending and tasbih is for descending. Yes.
