Question Regarding Takbirat in Salatul Eid

Posted by on Jan 24, 2011 in Eid, Featured | 1 comment

Question:

assalamualaikum

When I came to know about this website I was glad because I am follower of shafii fiqh and in india i think there is only one darul iftaa who deliver fatwas according to shafii fiqh. You are doing a very great job. May allah help you in this work & bless with honour & dignity, Ameen.

Here are my questions:

1- I would like to know about the extra takbir recited in eid salat in details with references

2- I had read in one book that imam malik shafii & ahmed has same opinion regardig this. Is it true ?

Answer:

الحمد لله رب العالمين ، وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، وبالله التوفيق

واما الا كمل فأن يقرأ بعد تكبيرة الإحرام دعاء الاستفتاح ثم يكبر في الركعة الأولى سبع تكبيرات سوى تكبيرة الإحرام وسوى تكبيرة الركوع وفي الثانية خمسا سوى تكبيرة القيام من السجود والهوي إلى الركوع، (المجموع شرح المهذب: 5: 17).

With Allah’s name, who is the All-Merciful, The Compassionate. All praise is to Allah, the exalted. Thank you for your kind words and your support. We say Ameen to your du’aa.

Imam Nawawi rahimahuLlahu ta’ala mentioned in al-Majmuʿ,

“The best way (to perform ‘eid salah) is that a person recites du’a istiftah (the opening duʿa) after takbirat al-ihram, thereafter, recite seven takbir in the first rakʿah beside takbirat al-ihram and takbir for rukuʿ. In the second rakʿah, he recites five times takbir beside takbir rising from sajdah and for rukuʿ. (al-Majmuʿ: 5: 17)
