The Restricted Takbir on the Days of Tashriq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is asked about the takbirat (saying Allahu Akbar) attached to the congregational prayers on the days of Tashriq: when do they begin, when do they end, and is it an innovation (bid'ah) to recite the takbirat in a single voice?

Answer:
The restricted takbir is performed after the supplication in congregation. If you pray with a congregation, you say takbir after the taslim, after you say, “O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor.” You say the takbirat, then you proceed to the usual dhikr after the taslim. However, if you pray alone, you do not say takbir. This applies only to prayer in congregation. The restricted takbir is when you pray in congregation, and if you pray alone, you do not say takbir.
