What is the ruling on excessive speech for a person in Ihram?

Primary text

It is recommended that a person in Ihram minimize speech concerning matters that do not benefit them, as a means of preserving oneself from idle talk, lying, and unlawful speech. This general recommendation is established by the Hadith: “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent,” which is considered Hasan Sahih (declared sound and authentic). Furthermore, “From the excellence of one's Islam is leaving that which does not concern him.” This principle is even more emphasized during Ihram due to its nature as an act of worship resembling I'tikaf. The righteous predecessor Shurayh was described as being like a deaf snake when in Ihram. Therefore, the pilgrim should engage in Talbiyah, remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Quran, enjoining good, forbidding evil, teaching the ignorant, or remaining silent. It is permissible to speak on matters devoid of sin or recite permissible poetry, but this should not be excessive. Evidence for this permissibility comes from Umar, peace be upon him, who recited poetry while in Ihram.
