The Ruling on Elongating the Hamzah and the Ba in the Takbir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the blood money? What is the ruling?
Answer:
The scholars have stated that it is not permissible to elongate the hamzah in "Allahu Akbar," because this is an interrogative form. "Allahu Akbar" is an interrogative, and the ba is not elongated. One should not say "Allahu Akbar" with an elongated ba, because "Akbar" is the plural of "kubr," which is the drum. This is a distortion of the meaning. Therefore, the hamzah is not elongated, and the ba is not elongated; rather, one says "Allahu Akbar." Yes.
