The ruling on takbir during the days of the festival using a loudspeaker
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your opinion of those who recite takbir in the mosque with a microphone on the days of the festival, and the common people follow them?
We see that this is not appropriate; because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not recite takbir as they do in the adhan. They did not intend to go to high places to recite takbir from them. Rather, they recited takbir in their markets, their mosques, their homes, and their camps, and in Mina, without intentionally seeking a high place to recite takbir from. So I fear that this is a matter of excessive strictness, about which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (The excessive strictness has destroyed, the excessive strictness has destroyed, the excessive strictness has destroyed) And in excessive strictness lies destruction—may Allah protect us from it—so let us be content with what sufficed the earliest predecessors.
