The questioner : How many takbirs are there in the prayer of the two festivals, and what is the ruling on the prayer of one who did not perform them in his prayer?
The Shaykh : The additional takbirs beyond the takbir of ihram, and the additional takbirs in the second rak'ah, are a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. So if a person leaves them out, he owes nothing.
As for their number, there is disagreement among the Salaf. The preferred position is to say six takbirs after the takbir of ihram in the first rak'ah, and five takbirs when one stands up for the second rak'ah.
