The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Do we say that it is prescribed to say takbir in place of clapping when one is pleased with something? He says: Do we say that it is prescribed to say takbir in place of clapping?
The Shaykh:
It is prescribed for me to say takbir.
The questioner:
When one is pleased, he says: If we are pleased with something, instead of clapping for it, we say takbir.
The Shaykh:
No, no, you do not clap. It is not permissible for you to clap. Clapping is for women; you do not clap. Yes.
