The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, what?
The questioner : When is the takbir performed when moving from one pillar to another?
The Shaykh : That is, it is between the two transitions, meaning between the pillar one moves from and the pillar one moves to, okay?
The questioner : Does he prolong it, meaning?
The Shaykh : Does he prolong it? No, he does not prolong it. Why would he prolong it? The school of thought we follow holds that the takbir must be between the two pillars. If he begins the takbir before the transition, it is not valid, and if he completes it after the transition, it is not valid. However, this is undoubtedly a position that causes hardship for the Muslims, and the stronger view is that if he begins it before and completes it after he has started the transition, there is no harm. Likewise, if he begins it during the transition and completes it after reaching the second pillar, there is no harm, and this is the practice of the people. But the problem is that some imams exert their judgment incorrectly and do not say the takbir until they reach the second pillar. For example, when descending from ruku' to sujud, he does not say the takbir until he prostrates. Do you understand? And so with the takbir for ruku'. What is your evidence, man? He said, "My evidence is so that the ma'mum does not get ahead of me, because the ma'mum will not move until he hears the takbir." It is said, this is a mistake. According to the words of the jurists, his prayer is defective because he did not perform the takbir in its proper place; the time has passed. So, let us take the benefits as you suggested. Yes, good.
