Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: On the day of the festival, before the imam enters for the festival prayer, the people were occupied, some with the takbir and others with reciting the Qur'an. Some of those present objected to those who were reciting the Qur'an. They said: It is better to recite the takbir and leave off reciting the Qur'an. Which of the two is correct?
The Shaykh : The correct view is the takbir. However, one who recites the Qur'an is not to be objected to, because the Qur'an is dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and among the best of dhikr. But since the takbir is specific to this time, and the Qur'an is for all times, adhering to the takbir is preferable. However, one is not to object to the other. For this reason, the Companions were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage; some were reciting the talbiyah and some were reciting the takbir, and no one objected to anyone.
Yes.
