Question: When performing Salaah behind an Imaam, is it necessary for the Muqtadi to also say the Takbeers of Salaah?

Answer: The Takbeeratut Tahrimah (the takbeer to start the Salaah) is a pre-requisite for the validity salah. Without Takbeeratut Tahrimah, one’s Salaah will not be valid.

As for the Takbeers when moving from one posture of Salaah to another; it is Sunnah of Salaah.

Keeping the above in mind, the Muqtadi should say the Takbeers of Salaah in a soft audible voice. ( One should not merely say the Takbeers in one's mind.)
