Is the pilgrim's saying "Labbayk 'Umrah" or "Labbayk Hajj" considered an utterance of the intention?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Uttering the intention () in the rituals by saying "Labbaik Hajj (Here I am for Hajj)" or "Labbaik (Here I am for Umrah)" is not an initiation of intention, but rather a (response) after a previous intention. Uttering the intention verbally is not prescribed in Hajj, Umrah, Wudu (ablution), or (prayer); rather, the intention is made in the heart.
