FatwaPerakPrayer (Salah)
Semasa menunaikan solat hari raya secara berjemaah, imam telah terlupa mengangkat takbir sebanyak lima kali ketika rakaat kedua lalu terus membaca surah al-Fatihah. Setelah ia diingatkan, imam tersebut mengulang takbir sebanyak lima kali kemudian barulah ia membaca surah al-Fatihah dan disusuli dengan bacaan surah. Persoalannya, apakah hukumnya berkenaan situasi ini dan adakah solat tersebut sah menurut syarak?
Is the Eid prayer valid if the imam forgets the five takbirs in the second rak'ah and repeats them after being reminded?
Short answer
The additional takbirs after the opening takbir, seven in the first rak'ah and five in the second, are recommended acts.

Summary
The additional takbirs after the opening takbir, seven in the first rak'ah and five in the second, are recommended acts. If the imam forgets them in either rak'ah, the prayer remains valid. The imam should not repeat the takbirs after remembering during the recitation of al-Fatihah, as their time has passed. The ruling relies on al-Nawawi's explanation in al-Majmu'.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mengangkat takbir selepas takbiratul ihram iaitu tujuh kali pada rakaat pertama dan lima kali pada rakaat kedua adalah sunat. Oleh itu, sekiranya imam terlupa dari melakukannya pada mana-mana rakaat maka sah solat tersebut.
