Question: Under what circumstances is one allowed to recite the takbir of Allahu Akbar, outside of prayer and supplication?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 2015/1629/B=1432) One should read انا لله وانا اليه راجعون on hearing bad news. And in other times instead of salah and dua etc you can read "Allah Akbar", it is allowed.

Q. asalamualaykum mufti sahab, Like many other brothers, i have been reading the book "Hizbul Aazam" by Mulla Ali Qari Rahmatullhalay. I read the english translation. I have the following questions regarding the book: 1. Ideally, the supplications should be in arabic, but as i dont understand arabic is it still ok to read the supplications from the book in english? 2. On what grounds is it justified to recite specific prayers on specific days? One of my friends asked me this question and i had no answer so i told him i will get one shortly.
