Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on takbir in the two festivals? What is its timing? Is it collective, or does each individual perform it separately? And what is the ruling on reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam in the loud prayers?
Answer:
Takbir in the two festivals is a recommended practice (sunnah) in 'Id al-Fitr, from the night of 'Id al-Fitr until the end of the 'Id sermon. In Dhu al-Hijjah, it is from the first night of Dhu al-Hijjah until the end of the thirteenth day. Takbir is prescribed (mashru') throughout this period. It is not collective; rather, each person performs it according to his own situation. This one performs takbir and that one performs takbir, and there is no need for it to be collective. There is no basis for collective takbir.
As for al-Fatihah, it is obligatory (wajib) for the ma'mum if he is able to do so. However, if he does not arrive until the time of bowing (ruku') and is unable to recite it, it is dropped from him. This is the case if he forgot, or if he exerted effort and claimed that it is not obligatory upon him based on evidence that appeared to him, or based on the approval of some of the community; his prayer is valid. But one who knows that it is obligatory by the evidence of the Shari'ah has no right to leave it out.
Question: ...؟
Answer: If the imam has a pause, he should recite it during the pause. If the imam does not have a pause, he should recite it at any time while the imam is reciting, and then listen. He recites it and then listens, even if the imam is reciting.
Question:...؟
Answer: With it, before it, or after it.
