Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your advice and guidance for the one who says the takbir of ihram and then repeats it several times on the grounds that it did not come from the heart?
Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is repeating a pillar. A pillar is not repeated. They say that if one repeats a pillar, the prayer is invalidated. If one bows three times, is his prayer valid? It is not valid. A pillar is not repeated. If one recites al-Fatihah twice, his prayer is not valid. A pillar is not repeated. Yes.
