Ruling on reciting the Talbiyah in unison

20-11-2007

Question 109273

What is the ruling on pilgrims reciting the Talbiyah in unison, where one recites it and the others repeat after him?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

That is not permissible because it is not narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or any of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (may Allaah be pleased with them) who succeeded him did that; rather it is a bid’ah (innovation). 

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
