Is it a condition to verbally express the intention when exiting the state of Ihram in Hajj or Umrah, or is it permissible to exit without verbal expression?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The fatwa discusses the intention of making a stipulation (shart) in Hajj or Umrah without uttering it, and whether it is beneficial and permits exiting the state of ihram (tahallul) when an excuse arises. The fatwa preferred the view that verbalization is necessary, and that the mere intention of making a stipulation is not sufficient for tahallul when an excuse arises. As for uttering words indicating exiting the state of ihram from Umrah or Hajj after completing them, this is not legislated, and no scholar has held this opinion.
