The ruling on vocalizing the intention when entering the state of ihram

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This is a sister questioner who sent two questions. Her first question asks about the intention, saying: Its place is the heart. Is it permissible to vocalize the intention in a loud voice when entering the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah?

Answer:
One does not vocalize the intention in any of the acts of worship. However, when entering the state of ihram, he may vocalize what he intends, not the intention itself. He says what he intends, such as: "Labbaik (I am here to respond to your call) for tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them)," or "Labbaik for ifrad (performing Hajj alone)," or "Labbaik for Hajj," or "Labbaik for tamattu' from 'Umrah to Hajj," or "Labbaik for qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram)," or "Labbaik for 'Umrah and Hajj." He utters what he intends and does not utter the intention itself. He does not say, "I intend to perform Hajj," "I intend to enter the state of ihram," or "I intend to perform 'Umrah." He does not say this.
