Q355: Repeat Allahu-Akbar in Salaah

Question

When imam says Allahu-akbar when going in sijda, ruku etc. do we say it softly as well?

Answer

Yes, we should say it softly. Some people say it loudly, this is bidat. It is against the Quranic instruction;

“وَقُومُوا لِله قَانِتِينَ”.

The sahabi says

“فأمرنا بالسكوت”.
