Summary
The Eid takbir is recommended from sunset on the night of the first of Syawal, after the Maghrib prayer is completed. Based on Imam al-Syafie's view in al-Umm, it is recited individually or in congregation in any situation until the imam comes out for the Eid prayer. Known as the absolute or unrestricted takbir (takbir mutlak or mursal), it may be performed in the mosque, at home or while travelling, up to before the Eid al-Fitr prayer is performed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Disunatkan ke atas umat Islam untuk melaungkan takbir hari raya selepas terbenamnya matahari iaitu pada malam satu Syawal selepas selesai dari menunaikan solat Maghrib.
