The questioner : Is the takbir on 'Id al-Fitr and 'Id al-Adha after the prayer in congregation or individually? And what is the prescribed formula for the takbir?
The Shaykh : The takbir on the night of 'Id al-Fitr continues until the imam arrives, and its form is to say: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, there is no god but Allah, and Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and to Allah belongs all praise" or to say: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, there is no god but Allah, and Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and to Allah belongs all praise" or to say: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, there is no god but Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and to Allah belongs all praise" The matter is broad in this regard, and its beginning on 'Id al-Fitr, as I mentioned, is from the setting of the sun on the night of the festival until the imam arrives.
As for 'Id al-Adha, the takbir is from the entry of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah until the last days of Tashreeq, but it is not recommended on the day of the festival when the imam is delivering the sermon, because a person is commanded to listen to the sermon. As for collective takbir with one voice, this is not from the Sunnah; rather, each person says the takbir alone for himself. This takbir is recommended for men to say aloud, but women do not say it aloud, neither in the house nor in the market. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. The questioner asks and says: The person who prays the tarawih or the night prayer in his house and does not pray it in the mosque with the congregation...
The Shaykh : Yes, as a correction: a woman does not say it aloud, but if she is in her house and it is more enlivening for her to say it aloud, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
