The Absolute and Restricted Takbir in the Ten Days of Dhu al-Hijjah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(may Allah be pleased with him) The absolute takbir on the days of the ten of Dhu al-Hijjah: does it include a person’s takbir after the obligatory prayers, or is takbir not done in this place, and is it specific to the restricted takbir only?

Answer:
The restricted takbir begins from the dawn of the Day of 'Arafah, meaning it begins after the prayers from the dawn of the Day of 'Arafah for the non-pilgrim, whereas for the pilgrim it begins from the Zuhr prayer on the Day of 'Arafah. This is the restricted takbir in the aftermaths of the prayers. As for the absolute takbir, it is in the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. It is called absolute because the [restricted takbir] is restricted to a specific time.
