What is prescribed on the night of the festival

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is prescribed for a Muslim to do on the night of the festival?

Answer:
What is prescribed on the night of the festival is the takbir (saying Allahu akbar)
to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided youوَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
So once the entry into the month of Shawwal is confirmed, he says Allahu akbar to Allah the Exalted after the sighting of the crescent moon, continuing until he goes out to pray the festival prayer. When the festival prayer ends, the takbir ends. He engages in the takbir between every interval and another. He says the takbir in the house, he says the takbir on the road, he says the takbir in the prayer place before the imam arrives, he increases in the takbir, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
