The Time and Form of the Takbir

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Answer:
The takbir begins from the setting of the sun on the night of the festival and ends with the prayer of the festival. Its form is to say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. One repeats this from the time the sighting of the Shawwal crescent is confirmed, from the beginning of the night until its end, until one goes out for the festival prayer, and until the imam arrives. One repeats this dhikr in the mosques, in the homes, and in the streets. This is because it is commanded in His saying:
and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
