Ihram: Difference between revisions

According to the most correct view, the sentences of talbiya are as follows:

Labbayk Allāhumm-a labbayk, labbayk-a lā sharīk-a lak-a labbayk

If one says only this, his ihram is correct, however on the basis of Mustaḥabb caution, one should say these mentioned talbiyas following the above talbiya:

Inna l-hamd-a wa l-ni'mat-a lak-a wa l-mulk, lā sharīk-a lak-a labbayk

And to observe more caution, one may add:

Labbayk Allāhumm-a labbayk, inna l-hamda wa l-ni'mat-a lak-a wa l-mulk, la sharīk-a lak-a labbayk

Here I am, O Allah. Here I am. Truly all praise, all favors and the kingdom belong to You. You have no partner, here I am.

Saying talbiya once is obligatory but it is Mustaḥabb that one repeats it as much as possible for him. It is obligatory for a person to pronounce talbiya correctly. Thus, if a person can learn the pronunciation exactly or somebody may say it word by word so that he says it correctly but he ignores these steps and pronounces it in a wrong way, it would not be enough. But if he cannot learn it due to shortage of time and he cannot say it correctly with somebody dictating, he should pronounce it in any possible way and it is based on caution that he should appoint a representative to say it on his behalf.
