Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on collective or individual takbir when pleased with a matter, or when a matter is realized?

Answer:
As for individual takbir: for one to say takbir by himself, this is prescribed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say takbir when he saw something that pleased him, and he would say takbir when the prohibitions of Allah were violated, (peace and blessings be upon him). He would say:
Glory be to Allah!سبحان الله!
, and he would say:
Allahu Akbar.الله أكبر
. When some of the Companions said to him: "Make for us a tree of Anawat, just as they have their tree of Anawat," he said:
Allah is the Greatest, these are the ways of the Prophetsالله أكبر، إنها السنن
Sahih Ibn Hibban 62:586
. When some people said to him: "We seek intercession with Allah against you, and with you against Allah," he said:
Glory be to God, glory be to Godسبحان الله! سبحان الله!
Mishkat al-Masabih 5727
. And when he said to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) :
I hope that you will be a quarter of the people of Paradise.إني لأرجو أن تكونوا ربعَ أهل الجنة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3168Da'if (Darussalam)
, "Say takbir," then he said:
I hope that you will be a third of the people of Paradise.إني لأرجو أن تكونوا ثلث أهل الجنة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3168Da'if (Darussalam)
, "Say takbir," then he said:
I hope that you would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradiseأرجو أن تكونوا شطر أهل الجنة
Sahih Muslim 221a
, "Say takbir." This is the Sunnah.
As for doing it collectively with one voice, raising it all together and stopping it all together; we know of no basis for this. Rather, as far as we know, it is among the religious innovations, for them to raise it with one voice and end it with one voice, all of them together; this has no basis.
As for one person saying takbir and another saying takbir, so that the voices meet in the mosques or in the streets, each saying takbir in his own way, without regard for a single tone, a single style, or a single ending, there is no harm in that.
