Reciting takbeer and tasbeeh when climbing or descending
Question
A person is climbing/descending.
1. Does he have to recite Allahu akbar/Subhanallah the entire time that he is climbing/descending, or only thrice?
2. He is climbing/descending when the adhaan starts. Should he answer the adhaan or recite Allahu akbar/Subhanallah?
Answer
1. We have not found an exact number.
2. Both can be done, the tasbeeh and answer the azaan.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
