The Ruling on Talbiyah for Those Who Are Not Pilgrims or Umrah Performers

Question
What is the ruling on Talbiyah for those who are not pilgrims or Umrah performers, and how accurate is the claim that it is an innovation?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The Talbiyah is a Sunnah for the pilgrim, and for others, it is a remembrance like other remembrances, but it is preferred over other remembrances due to its specificity. Nevertheless, it does not prevent its reciter from engaging in remembrance, and God knows best.
