Question:
You ask: Who is the addressee in the verse[Al-Hajj 22:27]?
Answer:
The one addressed was Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Allah said to him[Al-Hajj 22:27]. So Ibrahim (peace be upon him) ascended Mount al-Safa and said: “O people, Allah has made the Hajj obligatory upon you, so perform the Hajj.” Therefore, everyone who performs the Hajj until the Day of Resurrection is responding to this call with “Labbaik Allahumma labbaik, labbaik la sharika laka labbaik” (Here I am, O Allah, here I am; here I am, You have no partner, here I am). He is responding to Ibrahim’s call, by the command of Allah the Exalted and Majestic, to perform the Hajj. Yes.
