Is the pilgrim's saying "Labbayk 'Umrah" or "Labbayk Hajj" considered an utterance of the intention?

Uttering the intention (niyyah) in the rituals by saying "Labbaik Hajj (Here I am for Hajj)" or "Labbaik Umrah (Here I am for Umrah)" is not an initiation of intention, but rather a talbiyah (response) after a previous intention. Uttering the intention verbally is not prescribed in Hajj, Umrah, Wudu (ablution), or Salah (prayer); rather, the intention is made in the heart.
