❖ Question:
Should the Takbīrāt (Allāhu Akbar) of ʿĪd be recited aloud?
✿ Answer:
Yes, the Takbīrāt for ʿĪd should be recited aloud.
❀ Report from the Companions:
✅ It is reported about Sayyidunā ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه:
“He would recite Takbīrāt aloud in his tent at Minā.
The people in the mosque would hear him and start reciting Takbīrāt as well.
Then the people in the market would hear them and also begin the Takbīr,
until the entire area of Minā would echo with a single unified Takbīr.”
📚 (As-Sunan al-Kubrā by al-Bayhaqī: 6267 – Chain is authentic)
✅ Summary:
✔ Raising the voice in Takbīrāt during ʿĪd is from the practice of the Companions.
✔ It encourages others to join in and revives the atmosphere of ʿĪd remembrance.
✔ This communal act of glorifying Allah with loud Takbīr is a recommended Sunnah.
