Question:
Is tasbih when descending and takbir when ascending done in settled residence, or is it specific to travel?
Answer:
It is known to be done during travel, but in settled residence, one says tasbih and takbir when ascending and descending, increasing in the remembrance of Allah, whether in the courtyard, on the roof, or elsewhere.
Q: Is takbir done collectively?
A: No, each person says takbir for himself, not paying attention to the voice of others. The collective form has no basis, so it is a religious innovation. Therefore, each person says takbir and remembers Allah according to his own state, not paying attention to the voice of others.
Q: If one ascends a staircase, does he say takbir?
A: He says takbir whether ascending or descending; it is all the same.
Q: And if he descends a staircase, does he say tasbih?
A: It is all good, or he remembers Allah while descending: [Al Imran:191], but this which involves considering the valleys is for travels.
