The Time of Talbiyah and Its Meaning: Is It a Response to Allah or to the Beloved?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
That you believe in it. This is the topic, so I offer these words regarding knowledge. And before this, Glory be to Rabi'ah. You have two calamities, you have two gardens of America, from this garden and other than Allah. In the hadith of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), when his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, commanded him to teach the people by his saying and to bring the people to his message, so that the people would come to him, he commanded some of them and said, or is this better? Rather, some of them said, yes, indeed.
The Shaykh:
We did not understand anything, although I say, your words, we did not understand anything, yes.
Another questioner:
Your greetings.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
Another questioner:
Repeat, O Shaykh, repeat the question and clarify the voice.
The questioner:
I. One of them wrote about an introduction to a topic and said, "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, O my Lord, here I am." With this beard, the presenter wrote, "Prescribed by a member to a covenant of contracts other than the Most Merciful (peace and blessings be upon him)." So he passed it to him and said to him, "What is your opinion?" Rather, they said about it, "From the greatest introduction, what is your opinion?"
The Shaykh:
Yes, this question contains two issues. The first issue is when is the talbiyah? The talbiyah is recommended for the one in ihram, and it begins only when the ihram is contracted. As for before contracting the ihram, there is no place for the talbiyah. The talbiyah begins from the contracting of the ihram until one begins the tawaf of 'Umrah if he is performing 'Umrah, or until one begins the stoning of the pillars of Aqabah if he is performing Hajj. And as for the talbiyah, the second issue is: Is the talbiyah a response to Allah, or is it a response to the Beloved when he called the people to Hajj?
So there is no harm in attributing it to a response to the Beloved or to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. And the response to the Beloved is a response to Allah, because the Beloved only called by the command of Allah, Exalted is He. So there is no harm in saying that the talbiyah is a response to the call of the Beloved and it is a response to Allah in the same matter, or saying that it is a response to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. There is no harm in that and no denial, and this is not shirk (associating partners with Allah).
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
