Question:
Regarding the Shaykh’s issue of the presence of the deceased, or the authenticity of the hadith that says the takbirat al-ihramSahih al-Bukhari 2892, when did you say the takbirat al-ihram and what counts as it?
Answer:
The takbirat al-ihram is the first takbir for entering the prayer; the takbirat al-ihram is the takbir for entering the prayer, and it is caught by catching it. That is, whoever says the takbir immediately after the imam has caught the takbirat al-ihram. As for whoever comes after that, the takbirat al-ihram has passed him, even if he comes before the bowing. Its time is to say it immediately after the imam. This is the takbirat al-ihram. As for it being better than the world and what is in it, I do not know; it requires reflection, but it has great virtue. Yes.
