The ruling on taking turns or congregating in the takbir with a loudspeaker before the Eid prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some areas of the Kingdom, a loudspeaker is set up, and some people take turns reciting the takbir in a loud voice, one after the other, but they do not all recite it together before the prayer. What is the ruling on this action?
The Shaykh:
No, before the prayer, this is not permissible. This is not permissible; it is an innovation.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If it is a collective voice, like the collective takbir or collective dhikr that exists, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, if it is only one voice, the matter is lighter in this case. Yes, one person reminds the people of the takbir; one person, this is lighter. But the collective voice, the collective sound, this is a bid'ah.
