The Ruling on Not Uttering the Takbir of Ihram

Question
What is the ruling on not uttering the words 'Allahu Akbar' in the Takbir of Ihram?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It must be pronounced for the commencement of the prayer to be valid, and if he pronounces something else from pure remembrance, his commencement is valid, but he must perform a prostration of forgetfulness, and God knows best.
