Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Brief of Islamic Law Takbirat-in-ihram To say AllahuAkbar in the beginning of every prayer is obligatory, and one of its Rukns. And these two words should be pronounced in correct Arabic. If a person pronounces these words incorrectly, or utters their translation, it will not be volid.

It is necessary that when a person pronounces Takbirat-ul-Ihram for an obligatory prayer, his body is steady, and if he pronounces Takbir-ul-Ihram intentionally when his body is in motion, his Takbir is void. One should pronounce Takbir. Surat-ul-hamd, other Surah, Dhikr and Du'a (supplication) in such a manner that he should at least hear the whisper.

And if he cannot hear it because of deafness or too much noise, he should pronounce them in such a manner that he would be able to hear, if there was no impediment. If a person is dumb, or has some defect in his tongue rendering him unable to pronounce Allahu Akbar, he should pronounce it in whatever manner he can. And if he cannot proounce it at all, he should say it in his mind, and should make a suitable sign with his finger for Takbir, and should also move his tongue and lips if he can.

But a person who is born dumb, should move his tongue and lips like someone who pronounees the takbir, and made signs with his fingers, too. It is Mustahab for a person pronouncing the first Takbir of the prayer, and also the Takbir which occur during the prayer, to raise his hands parallel to his ears. Qiyam (To Stand) To stand erect while saying Takbirat-ul-Ihram, and to stand before the Ruku are Rukns of the prayers.

but, standing while reciting Surat-ul-Hamd and the other Surah and standing after performing the Ruku, are not Rukn and if a person omits it inadvertently, his prayer is in order. It is obligatory for a person to stand a while before and after pronouncing Takbir, so as to ensure that he has pronounced the Takbir while standing.

If a person forgets to perform Ruku, and sits down after reciting Surat-ul-Hamd and other Surah, and then remembers that he has not performed Ruku, he should first stand pu and then go into Ruku. If he does not stand up first, and perform Ruku while he is bowing, his prayer will be void because of not having performed standing before Ruku.
