The questioner : Regarding the takbir of ihram, when I say it, do I let my hands hang down or do I align them with my belly or chest? Because we have seen some of the young men do so?
The Shaykh : When you say the takbir, you place them on the chest immediately, and you do not let them hang down and then place them.
The questioner : On my chest.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : I mean, do I align them with my chest and then clasp them?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it. You place them on the chest, clasping one over the other. The point is not to let them hang down first.
The questioner : Yes, that is the important point.
