How many Takbir in Eid salaah?

  • August 2, 2021

What’s the wisdom behind the extra takbeer in ‘Eid salaah? Some scholars are of the opinion that it is there to explicitly express gratitude for the festival and happiness Allah the Almighty has granted.

There has been a classical dispute amongst the scholars with regards to the amount of takbeeraat in the ‘Eid salaah.  Ibn al-munthir (Allah have mercy on him) states that there are approximately 12 different opinions in relation to the quantity of takbeeraat in the ‘Eid salaah. (Bidaayah al-mujtahid 1/492)

The famous opinions:

Hanafi school:
Eid salaah will be composed of 6 extra takbeer; 3 will take place upon commencing the salaah.  3 will take place in the 2nd rakaat after the recitation of the Quran and before going into ruku’. (Badaa’i as-sanaa’i  2/243)

Maliki school:
Eid salaah will consist of an additional 11 takbeer; 6 takbeer will take place when commencing the salaah after the takbeer tahreema.  5 will take place in the second rakat upon standing up from the prostration (sajdah) and before the imam recites the qira’ah.(Mawaahib al-jaleel 2/572)

Shafi’i school:
Eid salaah will consist of an additional 12 takbeer; 7 takbeer will take place in the first rakaat in the beginning.  5 takbeer will take place in the second rakaat upon standing up from the prostration and before the recitation of the Quran. (Mughni al-muhtaaj 1/463)

Hanbali school:
They are in conformity with the Maliki school.  Eid salaah will consist of an additional 11 takbeer; 6 takbeer will take place when commencing the salaah after the takbeer tahreema.  5 will take place in the second rakat upon standing up from the prostration (sajdah) and before the imam recites the qira’ah. (al-Mughni 4/271-274)
