What is the ruling on conveying the takbir in the Friday prayer and the other five prayers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner says, “O honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on conveying the takbir in the Friday prayer and the other five prayers?”
The Shaykh : Conveying the takbir means that one of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) says the takbir along with the imam. There is nothing wrong with this if there is a need for it. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to the people while he was ill and found Abu Bakr praying with them. He stood to the left of Abu Bakr and began to pray, while Abu Bakr conveyed the people’s takbir.
As for when there is no need for it, one does not convey the takbir, but rather the imam’s voice is sufficient.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
