The ruling on one who did not recite the talbiyah in his 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: A man traveled to Makkah for the purpose of 'Umrah, and he performed all the acts prescribed for the one performing 'Umrah, such as taking a bath, wearing the ihram garments, and descending to the Haram. He completed his 'Umrah. The question is that he did not say "Labbaik 'Umrah" while in the state of ihram. What is required of him?
The Shaykh : The correct view is that the talbiyah is not obligatory and is not a pillar; rather, it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If a person does not recite the talbiyah in his Hajj or in his 'Umrah, his ritual is complete, meaning it is valid. However, there is no doubt that it is deficient due to the loss of this recommended practice, but it is not said to be invalid. We tell the man performing 'Umrah about whom you heard that his 'Umrah is valid and he has committed no sin. Yes.
Another questioner : Some say it is like the takbir of ihram.
The Shaykh : I indicated that it is not a pillar and not obligatory.
