The seven takbirs in the first rak'ah and five in the second are only sunnah hai'ah.

Summary
The seven takbirs in the first rak'ah and five in the second are only sunnah hai'ah. Omitting some or all of them does not invalidate the prayer, so it does not need to be repeated. In the Shafi'i school, if the imam omits takbirs, the followers need not add them, although omitting them is disliked.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, perbuatan meninggalkan sunat ini tidaklah membatalkan solat sehingga memerlukan solat diulang semula.
