Takbir: Its Time and Its Form
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And we also explained that Allah prescribed at the end of this month
The student: Takbir
The Shaykh : Takbir, takbir until the prayer, from the setting of the sun on the night of the festival until the prayer, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] And the takbir has a form
The student: It is not permissible in congregation
The Shaykh : But.
The student: Meaning ... raising the voice with it, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
The Shaykh : Raising the voice with it is for men, not women. Men raise their voices with it in the market, in the house, in the mosque, and on the way to the festival prayer. As for the woman, she does not raise her voice with it. Now, what is its form? What does one say?
The student: The takbir is: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd.
The Shaykh : A second form. Now, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. Or one says: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd. Either one says it three times or two times; all of this is permissible.
The student: Takbir
The Shaykh : Takbir, takbir until the prayer, from the setting of the sun on the night of the festival until the prayer, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you
