The Ruling on Entering Ihram Without the Talbiyah

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, my brother Mustafa performed 'Umrah last Ramadan, but when I entered ihram, I did not say "Labbaik 'Umrah." Is my 'Umrah valid, even though I had intended this 'Umrah since I left Riyadh?
Answer:
The intention of ihram is sufficient in place of vocalizing the talbiyah. The talbiyah is a recommended practice (sunnah), and what is intended is the intention. Ihram is the intention to enter into the rites of worship; that is the intention. As for the general intention from the day you walk from your country, that is not sufficient. You must intend at the miqat you pass through to enter into the rites, and you must leave off the prohibitions of ihram. If you then recite the talbiyah, that completes it; it is a good thing.
