What is the ruling regarding performing *Takbir* during the entirety of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah?
Chapter on the Two Eid Prayers
Al-Mughni
Book of Friday Prayer
Primary text
Reciting *Takbir* throughout all ten days is recommended (*mustahabb*). This is based on the Quranic injunction to remember Allah during the specified days, citing the verse: "...and mention the name of Allah on known days" (Quran 22:28), and "And remember Allah during the specified number of days" (Quran 2:203). The known days refer to the ten days, and the specified days refer to the days of Tashriq.

Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah were observed going out to the market during the ten days, reciting *Takbir*, and the people would recite *Takbir* in response to their recitation.
