Ihram and miqat
What is talbiah, and when should pilgrims begin and stop reciting it during Hajj and Umrah?
Answer in brief
Talbiah is the pilgrims' declaration of answering Allah's call, recited after entering ihram. It is a recommended act (sunnah), not a pillar, so Hajj remains valid if it is omitted, though the reward of its virtue is lost. Recitation begins from the intention of ihram. For Umrah it ends at the start of tawaf, while for Hajj it ends at the start of stoning the Jamrah al-Kubra, tawaf or shaving, whichever comes first. Men are encouraged to recite aloud, which is not recommended for women.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Sunat membaca laungan talbiah ini dimulai daripada berniat ihram hingga permulaan tawaf bagi yang mengerjakan umrah dan hingga mulai melontar jamrah al-Kubra atau mulai tawaf atau bercukur mengikut amalan mana yang didahulukan bagi yang mengerjakan haji.
