The questioner : This questioner, O honorable Shaykh, is from the village of al-Sabrah in Yemen. He says, O honorable Shaykh, three days before 'Id al-Adha and also after it, the people in our area recite the takbir loudly in the mosques. Is this practice permissible?
The Shaykh : The takbir is recited throughout the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : From the first day until the last of the three days of Tashriq after the festival, people recite the takbir in the mosques, in the markets, and in their homes, and they raise their voices with it. This is the sunnah (recommended practice). As for their not reciting the takbir except three days before the festival, I do not know of any basis for this. However, some scholars said that the restricted takbir, which is the takbir recited after the obligatory prayers, begins from the dawn of the Day of 'Arafah. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
