Is it permissible to chant the Eid takbir outside the Eid days, and is it true that the dead weep when they hear it chanted at other times?
Short answer
Chanting the Eid takbir loudly is prescribed only on the days of Eid and the days of tashriq.

Summary
Chanting the Eid takbir loudly is prescribed only on the days of Eid and the days of tashriq. Doing so on other days is not recommended and may cause unease in the community, but it is permitted and even encouraged when done alone, since takbir is a form of remembrance of Allah. The claim that the dead weep upon hearing the Eid takbir outside Eid has no textual evidence to support it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melaungkan takbir raya secara lantang pada hari selain daripada hari raya dan hari tasyrik adalah perkara yang tidak disunatkan untuk melakukannya dan ia boleh mendatangkan kejanggalan dan fitnah dalam kalangan masyarakat.
