Query on Takbīrāt at-Tashrīq

Question:

I know that reciting takbeer al-tashreeq during the days of Hajj after every fard salah is wajib. My query is: How many times? If somebody recites it three times will that be a bidaat or is it a Sunnah to recite three times?

(Question published as received)

Answer:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

To recite the Takbīrāt at-Tashrīq after the farḍ ṣalāh during the days of ḥajj (i.e. starting from after Fajr on the 9th of Dhu ’l-Ḥijjah and ending after ‘Aṣr on the 13th of Dhu ’l-Ḥijjah) is wājib. The Takbīrāt at-Tashrīq should be read once. [1]

It is permissible to recite the Takbīr three times without regarding it compulsory. [2]

And Allah knows best

[١] قال أبو الحسين القدوري (المتوفى: ٤٢٨هـ) : وتكبير التشريق أوله عقيب صلاة الفجر من يوم عرفة وآخره عقيب صلاة العصر من النحر عند أبي حنيفة وقال أبو يوسف ومحمد: إلى صلاة العصر من آخر أيام التشريق. والتكبير عقيب الصلوات المفروضات وهو أن يقول: الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد. (مختصر القدوري، ص ٤٢. دار الكتب العلمية)

قال علاء الدين الحصكفي الحنفي (المتوفى: ١٠٨٨هـ) : (ويجب تكبير التشريق) في الاصح للامر به (مرة) وإن زاد عليها يكون فضلا. قاله العيني. صفته (الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد) هو المأثور عن الخليل. قال ابن عابدين الحنفي (المتوفى: ١٢٥٢هـ) في الحاشية : (قوله وإن زاد إلخ) أفاد أن قوله مرة بيان للواجب، لكن ذكر أبو السعود أن الحموي نقل عن القراحصاري أن الإتيان به مرتين خلاف السنة. اهـ. قلت: وفي الأحكام عن البرجندي ثم المشهور من قول علمائنا أنه يكبر مرة وقيل: ثلاث مرات. (رد المحتار، ج ٢، ص ١٧٨. بابي الحلبي)

[2] Muftī Rashīd Aḥmad Ludhyānwī (raḥimahullāh) states in respect to this: “Some consider (reciting Takbīrāt al-Tashrīq more than once) to be  against the sunnah, whilst others consider it permissible. Hence, to avoid ikhtilāf, one should suffice on reciting it only once.” He further states, “the one who considers reciting Takbīrāt al-Tashrīq thrice to be compulsory is sinful and an innovator (Mubtadi‘). It is necessary for him to repent from this innovation.” (Aḥsan al-Fatāwā, 4/152. Sa‘īd)
