Question:
Abu Basam says: Shaykh, what is the meaning of the talbiyah? When do we begin it? And when does it end?
Answer:
The talbiyah means responding. You respond that you are answering the call of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). You have come for Hajj or 'Umrah in response to the call of Allah on the tongue of His intimate friend Ibrahim, when Allah commanded him, saying:[Al-Hajj 22:27] So you answer this call by saying: Labbaik Allahumma labbaik. Yes.

And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -
وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ
