When does one go into ihraam?

Question

When does one go into ihraam? Is it when you perform the 2 rakaats of salaah or when you read the Labaik?

Answer

After performing the two rakaat salaah, one will not be in the state of ihraam. Rather, when he makes the intention and recites the labbaik with it, then he will enter into the state of ihraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
