The Takbir of Ihram After Changing the Intention in Prayer

Question

I had asked about the permissibility of changing the intention of prayer from obligatory to voluntary or vice versa, and your response indicated the legitimacy of this action. However, is it necessary after changing the intention to perform a new Takbir of Ihram or not?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: There is no need to renew the intention of Ihram; it is a condition for prayer like ablution, and God knows best.
