The ruling on saying "Labbaik" or "Labbayk" to one who calls out

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on saying "Labbaik" or "Labbayk" to one who calls out? Is this considered shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
No, it is merely a response to the one calling. The Companions used to say to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah." There is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
