Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! We notice that some of the brothers say Bismillah at the takbir of ihram and then say Allahu Akbar?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is not prescribed. I ask Allah. "Allahu Akbar." He does not recite the basmalah, he does not mention it, he says "Allahu Akbar." This is the beginning of the prayer.
The questioner:
Also, Shaykh, when performing tayammum, he speaks words that are not heard, then he also says takbir?
The Shaykh:
Yes, when performing tayammum, he says "Bismillah" just like in wudu'. We will establish its beginning.
