Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Why is vocalizing the intention prescribed in the ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah, but not prescribed in prayer?
Answer:
Vocalizing the intention in the ihram is not prescribed. What is prescribed is vocalizing what is intended: "Labbaik 'Umrah, Labbaik Hajj, Labbaik 'Umrah, combining it with Hajj." One vocalizes what is intended, not the intention itself. One does not say, "O Allah, I intend Hajj" or "I intend 'Umrah." This has not been reported. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
