Summary
The talbiah is a ritual proclamation by those performing Hajj, marking the start of the journey with a sincere heart and a commitment to pure monotheism for the sake of Allah. The fatwa cites scholars who explain the phrase labbayk as answering the call and holding fast to obedience to Allah, with its repetition serving as emphasis. Scholars differ on its root and precise sense, with views including turning towards Him, love, sincerity for Him alone, and submission before Him.
