What is the ruling on collective takbir?

The questioner : The issue of collective takbir, O our Shaykh, is in the festival.

The Shaykh : We do not believe that there is any collective dhikr in the festival, or in Mina, or in any place. It is, first, an innovation that has occurred, and second, it leads to moral harms. This is because one person’s breath may run out before others, causing him to stop the recitation, and he may stop it where stopping is not permissible. We used to see this in Syria, where ten people would recite the takbir ten times after the Fajr prayer, especially aloud with one voice. Then, out of ignorance, they would continue with "La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lah al-mulk wa lah al-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la ilaha..." without taking a breath. One person would run out of breath at "La ilaha" and they would continue, and he would catch up with them later. This corrupted the meaning. So, glory to Allah. This is one of the harms of deviating from the Sunnah. There is no doubt that, for example, it is prescribed to raise the voice in the talbiyah, and it is prescribed for a person to exert himself and raise his voice in the talbiyah. As came in the authentic hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the best of Hajj? He said: . And it is established that when the Companions traveled with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a state of ihram during the Farewell Pilgrimage, he said: . So this raising of the voice is a Sunnah. But it is an Islamic display; this one recites the talbiyah from here and that one from there. They may sometimes meet in the wording, and they may differ, and this is the Sunnah.
