The use of a loudspeaker for takbir in the Eid prayer area

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: On the day of Eid, before the Eid prayer, is it permissible for a man to take the microphone and recite the takbir with it, while the people recite the takbir following his, before the imam arrives?

Answer:
No, this is the Eid prayer area, so it is not permissible for you to take the microphone and recite the takbir. You should recite the takbir yourself, and the person next to you should recite it, and the next one, so that the takbir comes from everyone. However, if you are walking in a road or in a market and you have a handheld amplifier, there is no harm in you reciting the takbir so that people can hear it and recite the takbir, reminding them of it. Yes.
