Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah benefit you. This questioner asks: What is the prescribed method of takbir on the blessed Festival of Breaking the Fast?

Answer:
Allah has prescribed for His servants to glorify Him at the end of the month of Ramadan. Allah the Exalted said:
and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
It is prescribed to perform the absolute takbir on the Festival of Breaking the Fast, from after sunset on the night of the festival until the completion of the festival sermon. Its wording is to say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. Or to say it in a triple form: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. Similarly, it is prescribed to say: Allahu Akbar kabiran, al-hamdu lillah kathiran, wa subhan Allah bukratan wa asilan. All of this is prescribed on the Festival of Breaking the Fast, from after the setting of the sun until the completion of the festival sermon.

May Allah bless you.
