Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this questioner says: If the imam leaves out the additional takbirs in the 'Id prayer, what is the ruling on this?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but he has left a recommended practice (sunnah), and it is not befitting for him to intentionally omit the additional takbirs. However, if he forgot them, there is no harm. But if he does it intentionally, that is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
