Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about the absolute takbir?
Answer:
This is based on the view that it is prescribed to pray for it. There is a point of consideration regarding the prayer, meaning there is a point of consideration regarding its lawfulness for earthquakes. However, based on the view that it is prescribed, one should pray or make du'a, because the earthquake does not stop; it continues, and, may Allah protect us, it repeats for days.
