Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to repeat the takbir, “Allah is the Greatest, the Great.” He says: Is this not the supplication of opening the prayer, and not a repetition of the takbir of entering the state of ihram?
Answer:
It is not a repetition of the takbir of entering the state of ihram. It is not the opening supplication. The opening supplication is “Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise,” and so on. This is the takbir of entering the state of ihram.
