What does the one who prays say before the takbir of ihram?

The questioner : When I go forward to pray, for the obligatory prayer, what do I say before the takbir of ihram?

The Shaykh : Do not say anything if you are with the imam, for the mu'adhdhin will call the iqamah, then the imam will say takbir, and you say takbir with him. Just say Allahu Akbar. Yes, that is correct.

The questioner : Right away, right away, where?

The Shaykh : And if you are the imam, likewise, when the mu'adhdhin finishes, say takbir. Right away. There is no supplication between the iqamah, the adhan, and the prayer. Just say Allahu Akbar right away. Yes, yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And you begin with the opening supplication, you know the opening supplication. May Allah reward you.

The questioner : I say you begin with the opening supplication, then you recite al-Fatihah.

The Shaykh : Yes, I do not know, yes.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Because.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : May Allah guide you to good.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.

The questioner : May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
