The questioner : The takbir for the traveler when he ascends and his tasbih when he descends: is this specific to the traveler, or does it apply to the resident in the town as well?
The Shaykh : This was reported for when we are traveling, when we are on a journey. It appears, and Allah knows best, that it includes even the resident; for example, if he passes through his own town in a high place and says takbir, I do not think there is any harm in that for him.
