The Ruling on Collective Takbir

The questioner:
What is the ruling on collective takbir?

The Shaykh:
Collective takbir is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Takbir in itself is a sunnah (recommended practice), but making it a group activity with one voice is a bid'ah, because it is not reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this with his Companions, nor did the Companions do it, nor did the blessed generations do it. The first time this was known was from the Sufi innovators. Collective takbir turns into anthems, into songs, and into musical composition.
In addition, it is not established, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , so it also turns the takbir into songs and hymns, like the hymns of the Christians. This is forbidden.

Another questioner:
The takbir of the scene is the prayer of the festival. Now

The Shaykh:
All of it, all of it is the prayer of the festival, the takbir of the festival, and the takbir in general, meaning there is no collective takbir at all. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prescribe for us collective takbir, nor collective supplication, nor collective recitation, except in the context of learning, where a teacher teaches the Qur'an, then he recites a verse and all the students recite it; this does not contradict [the ruling], meaning this is in the context of education. But if this is adopted in the context of recitation, then it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes.
