Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Being that there is 4 points to make Takbir, Allahu Akbar, in one's Salah, if one of the Takbir is missed/forgot, does that invalidate the Salah?

For example: I forget to make Takbir before or after Ruku or I forget to make Takbir after rising from the second Rakah (after the first Tashahud).

Do these acts invalidate my Salah?

Jazakum Allahu Khairan
May Allah SWT increase us in Knowledge. Allahumma Ameen.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Alaikum Assalamu Wa Rahmatullah,

The first TAKBEER only( TAKBERAT AL IHRAM) is fard,(obligatory), Saying the Opening Takbir and Beginning the Prayer .
Ali reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "The key to prayer is purity. What puts one into its inviolable state is the takbir, and the tasleem releases one from it."
As to the authenticity of the report, it is related by ash-Shai'i, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and at-Tirmizhi, who called it the most authentic report on this topic. Al-Hakim and Ibn as-Sakin consider it as sahih. The takbir consists of saying Allahu akbar. Abu Hameed reported that when the Prophet stood for prayer, he would stand straight, raise his hands and say, "Allahu akbar".
The one who does not say Takbirat Al Ihram(the 1st one to join the prayer),his /her prayer becomes invalid.
The other 3 TAKBIR are not fard (obligatory),but it is sunnah or mustahab(recommended),if some one did not say it, his/her prayer still correct.
And Allah Knows Best.
