Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee divides the takbir of the Hajj festival into two types: absolute (mutlak) and restricted (muqayyad). The absolute takbir is not tied to prayer and is recommended from sunset on the eve of Eid until the imam begins the Eid prayer with takbiratul ihram. The restricted takbir follows obligatory prayers, rawatib prayers and funeral prayers, from dawn prayer on the Day of Arafah until the afternoon prayer on 13 Zulhijjah. For pilgrims performing Hajj, it runs from noon on 10 Zulhijjah to dawn on 13 Zulhijjah, and this takbir is specific to Eid al-Adha.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Takbir mutlak dituntut bermula sebaik sahaja terbenam matahari pada malam hari raya Aidilfitri/Aidiladha sehingga imam mengangkat takbiratul ihram solat hari raya.
