(He would say takbir at every lowering and raising…) Can it be used as evidence for the takbir for the prostration of recitation?

The questioner : The hadith that he would say takbir at every lowering and raising: Is it appropriate to use it as evidence for the permissibility of saying takbir for the verse of prostration in prayer only?

The Shaykh : It is not appropriate to use it as evidence for the takbir for the prostration of recitation, because the obvious meaning is the customary lowering and raising in all prayers, and the norm is that they do not contain the prostration of recitation.


The questioner : Is it permissible to speak for one who is walking to the Friday prayer while the imam is delivering the sermon, or is the prohibition only for those who are in the mosque?

The Shaykh : Yes, the prohibition is only for those who are in the mosque; it does not apply to the one going to the mosque.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
