What is the ruling on the collective takbir on the day of Eid and with the microphone after the prayers, or on the days of Tashreeq, by analogy to the adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, there is a phenomenon: on the day of Eid, before the prayer, the takbir is done collectively and with the microphone, and likewise on the days of Tashreeq, after the prayers, it is done with the microphone.
The Shaykh : Collectively?
The questioner : Yes, collectively, and by analogy to the adhan, they say.
The Shaykh : By analogy to what?
The questioner : By analogy to the adhan, the imam holds the microphone.
The Shaykh : By analogy to the adhan.
The questioner : They analogize it to the adhan.
The Shaykh : The adhan.
The questioner : Yes, since it is prescribed to use the microphone for it, they use the microphone for the takbir after the prayers. I don't know, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The takbir in the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is not restricted to the ends of the prayers, and likewise on the night of Eid al-Fitr, it is not restricted to the ends of the prayers. So their restricting it to the ends of the prayers is questionable. Then, their making it collective is also questionable, because it is contrary to the custom of the Salaf. And their reciting it on the minarets is also questionable. These are three matters, all of which are questionable. What is prescribed at the ends of the prayers is to recite the known, customary dhikr, and then when you are finished, you say takbir. And what is prescribed is that the people do not all say takbir together, but rather each person says it alone.
This is what is prescribed, as in the hadith of Anas: and they were not in one state. Peace be upon you. Yes, regarding something, Abdullah.
