The Intention to Enter the State of Ihram and the Utterance of It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O Shaykh, regarding the intention to enter the rites, we ask about it often. Is it the one that is verbalized in the talbiyah?
Answer:
No, the intention is in the heart; the place of the intention is the heart. One verbalizes what he intended and says: Labbaik hajjan (Here I am for Hajj), Labbaik 'umran (Here I am for 'Umrah), Labbaik hajjan mutamatti'an (Here I am for Hajj as a mutamatti'), Labbaik 'umran mutamatti'an biha ila al-hajj (Here I am for 'Umrah as a mutamatti' to Hajj). So he verbalizes the rite he wants, and this is a sunnah (recommended practice). As for the intention in the heart, it is necessary; it is the ihram. The ihram is the intention to enter the rites, yes.
