Noise (lagh), fiqh rulings

Lagh, in lexicon, is confused and mixed noise, a din that cannot be understood; lagw is speech without meaning or effect. The difference is that lagh has a meaning intended, while lagw may not ¹.

Most jurists recommend lowering the voice, and hold noise disliked in three places: while following a funeral, in war, and during remembrance, whether by recitation, invocation, tahlil or blessing the Prophet ﷺ, on the report of Qays ibn Abbad ¹. The majority make an exception for the talbiya of the pilgrimage, where raising the voice is recommended, on the hadith of Gabriel bidding the Prophet's companions to raise their voices in talbiya, especially when the state changes, as in mounting, dismounting or ascending ^{1 2}.
