313- Issue; He said: (Then he continues to recite the takbir after every obligatory prayer that he performs in congregation. And from Abu Abd Allah, may Allah have mercy on him, is that he recites the takbir for the obligatory prayer even if he is alone, until he recites the takbir for the Asr prayer of the last of the days of Tashriq, and then he ceases.)

The established practice according to our Imam, may Allah have mercy on him, is the takbir following the obligatory prayers in congregation, according to the famous report from him. Al-Athram said: I said to Abu Abd Allah: Do I follow the action of Ibn Umar, that he would not recite the takbir if he prayed alone? Ahmad said: Yes. Ibn Masud said: The takbir is only for one who has prayed in a congregation. This is the doctrine of al-Thawri and Abu Hanifah. Malik said: One does not recite the takbir after supererogatory prayers, but he does recite it after all obligatory prayers. Al-Shafi'i said: One recites the takbir after every prayer, whether it is an obligatory or supererogatory one, and whether one has prayed it individually or in a congregation; because it is a prayer performed, so one recites the takbir after it, like the obligatory [prayer] in a congregation. Our evidence is the statement of Ibn Masud and the action of Ibn Umar, and there is no known dissenter to them among the Companions, so it is an ijma (consensus). Also, it is a form of remembrance (dhikr) specific to the time of Eid, so it is specified for the congregation. It does not follow from its legitimacy for the obligatory prayers that it is legitimate for the supererogatory ones, like the Adhan and Iqamah. From Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, there is another report that one recites the takbir for the obligatory prayer even if he is alone. This is the doctrine of Malik; because it is a recommended remembrance for the one who has missed part of the prayer (masbuq), so it is recommended for the one who is praying alone, like the taslim.

Section: Travelers are like residents in what we have mentioned, and likewise women recite the takbir in the congregation. Regarding their recitation of takbir while praying individually, there are two reports, as is the case for men. Ibn Mansur said: I said to Ahmad, Sufyan said: Women do not recite the takbir during the days of Tashriq except in a congregation. He said: He spoke well. Al-Bukhari said: Women used to recite the takbir behind Aban ibn Uthman and Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz.
