The ruling on leaving off the talbiyah when entering the state of ihram for Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my question is about Hajj, and it has become difficult for me to understand. I performed Hajj with my father ten years ago, and when we entered the state of ihram, we did not verbally recite the talbiyah for the house of Hajj. Is our Hajj valid? Is the talbiyah obligatory in Hajj? We were ignorant of the rituals of Hajj at that time. May you be rewarded.

Answer:
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]
, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
And among that is the intention of entering ihram. When a Muslim intends to enter the state of ihram, his ihram is established even if he does not verbalize it. The talbiyah is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. It is performed after entering ihram, and it is a recommended practice that the one in ihram repeats until he begins the tawaf of 'Umrah. If he is a pilgrim performing Hajj, he repeats it until he begins stoning the pillars at the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the day of the festival. If he leaves it off and does not recite the talbiyah, there is no blame on him, and his ihram is valid, his 'Umrah is valid, and his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
