What is the manner of the talbiyah in Hajj? Is it collective or individual? And what is the time for the takbir on the festival?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... May Allah reward you. The talbiyah in Hajj is exactly like this: the prescribed manner of the talbiyah is to raise one's voice with it, indeed to exaggerate in raising the voice, but not in a group. However, one voice may meet another and then they may separate; the important thing is that the pilgrims raise their voices so that there is a clamor and a din. Therefore, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the best of Hajj, he said: . You know that what is meant by "al-'ajj" is raising the voice, and "al-thajj" is slaughtering. It has been narrated practically from the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that when they left Dhul-Hulayfah reciting the talbiyah for Hajj, they were shouting the talbiyah for Hajj until their voices became hoarse when they reached al-Rawhah.
The questioner : ... al-Zawra.
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The questioner : ... al-Zawra.
The Shaykh : ... al-Rawhah, al-Zawra... Welcome. Al-Rawhah is in Madinah, and al-Zawra is in Madinah, whereas al-Rawhah is on the road. These are the pilgrims who raise their voices.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... They were raising their voices, raising their voices.
The questioner : ... something...
The Shaykh : ... And it is more like the talbiyah in that one raises the voice, but it is not unifying the voice.
The questioner : ... after the prayers.
The Shaykh : I am saying now, initially, that the voice... and peace be upon you. Okay, so, we have now concluded that the takbir on the festival is by raising the voice.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, but not collectively. As for the time of the takbir, it has no limited time; it is all the days of the festival. We are discussing 'Id al-Adha now. As for 'Id al-Fitr, the takbir ends upon arriving at the place of prayer. As for 'Id al-Adha, all the days of the festival are a place for the loud takbir, and it is not restricted to after the prayer. You may say the takbir before the prayer, after the prayer, between the prayers, and so on. Restricting the takbir to after the prayer is a custom that the later generations followed, and they narrowed this wide scope of takbir on the days of the festival to only after the prayer. This is, as the jurists say, a restriction of what was not restricted and a nullification of the general texts. This is not permissible. It is true that the Muslims, meaning those who cooperate with each other in their religion, cooperate in the manner of their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and among these is this Islamic practice on the four days of the festival. There is no harm if a person says the takbir to remind the present ones, and they say the takbir with his takbir, but it is not a condition... This is all I have as an answer to your question.
The questioner : ... an innovation.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... the restriction.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... it becomes an innovation...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, oh Allah.
Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
The clamor and the slaughter
