Takbir and Tasbih in Elevators

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: You mentioned at the beginning of the lesson that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say takbir when he ascended a high place and tasbih when he descended. He asks: Does this apply to what is called elevators? If a person goes up, does he say takbir, and if he goes down, does he say tasbih?

Answer:
If the elevators are like a traveling animal, such as a camel, then he says takbir. As for them being a manufactured assembly of iron, they are not like a camel. Yes.
