The Times and Manner of Takbir on the Festival

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Ahmad, a thousand times a thousand. There are several narrations regarding the takbirat of the festival, whether it is the Festival of Breaking the Fast or the Festival of Sacrifice. We hope for clarification of this and what is reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Thank you.

Answer:
The takbirat on the festival: this is a general question. Does he mean the takbirat on the night of the festival and before people go out on the festival? This is prescribed. 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]
Its manner is to say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. He repeats this and raises his voice with it. The woman also says the takbir, but with a lowered voice so that the men do not hear her. This is a prescribed matter. As for if he means the takbir in the festival prayer and in the festival sermon, then yes, this is a reported matter. He says the takbir seven times in the first unit after the takbir of entering the prayer, and six times in the first unit after the takbir of entering the prayer, and five times in the second unit after the takbir of moving to the next position. This is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, he says the takbir at the beginning of the sermon, opening it with the takbir. The festival sermon is opened with the takbir, because the time is a time of takbir,
and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided youوَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
, and this includes the takbir in all its types and places that are reported. Yes.
