Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : Making du'a after the imam's takbir in
The Shaykh : After what?
The questioner : After the imam's takbir, the takbirat al-ihram, is there a report? Because I see some people making du'a after the imam says takbir, and perhaps they make du'a with the words of Allah the Exalted:[Ibrahim 14:40] Is this du'a, I mean,
The Shaykh : It is not prescribed to make du'a after the imam's takbirat al-ihram. Rather, the sunnah is that when the imam says takbir, you should hasten to say takbir so that you catch the virtue of the takbirat al-ihram. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: The "fa" indicates sequence and immediate following, meaning from the moment he says takbir and his voice stops from the "ra" in his saying "Allahu Akbar," you say takbir. Do not occupy yourself with du'a, or with using the miswak, or with talking to the person next to you, for this will cause you to miss catching the virtue of the takbirat al-ihram. Yes.
The questioner : In the verse:
The Shaykh : This is from the du'a of Ibrahim (peace be upon him):[Ibrahim 14:40]
The questioner : Is it prescribed?
The Shaykh : No, it is not prescribed, but if he makes du'a with it, there is no harm.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : I say that if he makes du'a with it, there is no harm, as long as it does not cause him to miss the virtue of the takbirat al-ihram.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.

My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants
