The questioner: If the imam forgets the takbirs in the second rak'ah of the prayer for rain, is he required to do anything?
Answer:
No. The takbirs of the second rak'ah, excluding the takbir of ihram, are the takbirs of transition. These are a recommended practice (sunnah); there is no condition upon him. The takbir of ihram is a pillar, and the takbirs of transition are obligatory. As for the takbirs of the responses, they are a recommended practice (sunnah).
