· Abandoning Talbiyah [1] or repeating it in a low voice.
This is against the Sunnah (tradition). The Sunnah, however, is that men should repeat Talbiyah in a high voice while women should do that in a low voice. In a Hadeeth (narration), the Prophet, 
, said: "Jibreel (Gabriel) came to me and commanded me to order my Companions to raise their voices in Talbiyah." [Abu Daawood]
, said: "Jibreel (Gabriel) came to me and commanded me to order my Companions to raise their voices in Talbiyah." [Abu Daawood] · Some say, "O Allah I want ‘Umrah or Hajj" and this is incorrect. What is correct, however, is to say, "Labbayka Hajjan wa ‘Umrah (O Allah, I answer Your call to perform Hajj and ‘Umrah)" if he performs the Qiraan Hajj [2]; or "Labbayka ‘Umrah (O Allah, I answer Your call to perform ‘Umrah)" if he performs the Tamattu‘ Hajj [3] or the ‘Umrah only; or "Labbayka Hajj (O Allah, I answer Your call to perform Hajj)" if he performs the Ifraad Hajj [4].
· Some pilgrims do not reflect on the meaning of Talbiyah, which implies response and surrender to the command of Allah The Almighty as well as obedience to Him with love and fear. Consequently, it is obligatory to reflect on the meanings of these words so that they come from the heart.
[1]- Saying: "Labbayka Allahumma labbayk. Labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk. Innalhamda wan-n‘imata laka walmulk, laa shareek lak."
[2]- This is where a pilgrim assumes Ihraam for both ‘Umrah and Hajj, or he assumes Ihraam first for ‘Umrah, then makes his intention for Hajj before his Tawaaf for Hajj. The obligations on one performing Ifraad are the same as those on one performing Qiraan, except that the latter must slaughter whereas the former is not obligated to do so.
[3]- This is where a pilgrim assumes Ihraam for both ‘Umrah and Hajj, or he assumes Ihraam first for ‘Umrah, then makes his intention for Hajj before his Tawaaf for Hajj. The obligations on one performing Ifraad are the same as those on one performing Qiraan, except that the latter must slaughter whereas the former is not obligated to do so.
[4]- This is where a pilgrim assumes Ihraam for Hajj only. When he reaches Makkah, he performs Tawaaf for his arrival and Sa'y for Hajj. He does not shave or clip his hair as he does not disengage from Ihraam. Instead, he remains in Ihraam until after he stones the Jamratul–'Aqabah on 'Eed day. It is permissible for him to postpone his Sa'y for Hajj until after his Tawaaf for Hajj (i.e. Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah).
