Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the takbir on the night of the festival, and also on the morning of the day of the festival, to be done collectively, with one voice?
Answer:
No, the collective form, the collective voice, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Everyone says the takbir for himself, everyone says the takbir for himself, and they do not say the takbir collectively, because this is a bid'ah. It was not known from the righteous Salaf that they said the takbir collectively. And this turns the takbir into songs and anthems, and this is forbidden. Yes.
