and authorization, so it requires a mandatory verbal utterance, like prayer. Furthermore, the sacrificial animal and the udhiyah (sacrifice) do not become obligatory by mere intention, and likewise for the nusuk (rites). Our position is that it is an act of worship at the end of which no verbal utterance is mandatory, so there is none at its beginning, like fasting. The report intended implies recommendation, for its explicit phrasing is raising the voice, and there is no disagreement that it is not mandatory, so that which is necessary for it is even more so. Even if verbalization were mandatory, it does not necessitate that it be a condition, for many of the obligations of Hajj are not conditions for it, and prayer has a mandatory verbal utterance at its end, unlike Hajj and 'Umrah. As for the sacrificial animal and the udhiyah, they are the obligation of property, so they resemble a vow, unlike Hajj, which is a physical act of worship.

Ibn al-Mundhir said: "All of the scholars from whom we preserve knowledge are in consensus on this."

It is recommended for whoever enters into ihram for a rite (nusuk) that he stipulate at the time of his ihram, saying: "If a restrainer restrains me, then my place of exiting ihram is wherever You restrain me" (2). This condition provides two things: first, that when...
