Takbeer Tahreemah

Q. What is meant by takbeer tahreemah?

A. To begin the prayer, after making the niyyah, one says “Allaahu akbar”. After this takbeer, the prayer begins and all actions unrelated to namaaz become haraam. This is why it is called takbeer tahreemah.

Q. Can one say the takbeer tahreemah of a fard prayer while bowing?

A. No, it is not allowed. Standing upright while saying takbeer tahreemah in fard or waajib prayer is compulsory, unless there is a valid excuse.
