Ruling on forgetting to say Takbirat-ul-Intiqal


809

Q 2: What is the ruling on saying Takbirat-ul-Intiqal [Takbir i.e., saying: "Allahu Akbar - Allah is the Greatest" whenever moving from one posture to another during Prayer]? If someone forgets to say it, do they have to perform Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness)?


A: Saying Takbirat-ul-Intiqal when moving from one Rukn (integral/Pillar) to another is one of the obligatory actions of Salah (Prayer), according to the more correct of the two opinions of the scholars. Anyone who intentionally does not say these Takbirat [plural of Takbir] or intentionally omit any of them, their Salah is Batil (null and void). However, if anyone does not say the Takbir because they forgot to say it, they should perform Sujud-ul-Sahw.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
