The Takbir with loudspeakers before the Eid prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I was in Makkah on the day of Eid, and I heard most of the mosques reciting the takbir over loudspeakers, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Is this action correct?
Answer:
Raising the voice in the takbir before the Eid prayer is a recommended practice (sunnah), but it is not done with loudspeakers; it is done with the normal voice. Each person recites the takbir for himself, and there is no collective takbir. Each person recites it for himself with the normal voice. It should not be like the adhan, raised with a loudspeaker. This is likening it to the adhan. Yes, it is an exaggeration. Yes.
