Women will also recite this takbeer, but in a low voice. So that non mahram can't hear the sound of this takbeer. Umm Atiyah (RA) said, ‘Even we used to take menstruating women out to the Eidgah. They stood behind the men; They used to recite takbeer after hearing their takbeer and they also used to recite dua after hearing their dua. They hoped for the blessings and holiness of that day.' [2] On the other hand, it is bid'ah to recite the takbeer of the congregation in one voice or the recitation of the takbeer by all at the same time. Since the sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) is: In the dhikr of Allaah, each person will recite his own dhikr alone. So it is not right for anyone to deviate from the ideals of him and his companions. [3]
