Question:
Is it permissible for the one performing tamattu' or qiran to shave before slaughtering in Hajj?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. If he has stoned the pillar, he has four things on the day of 'Id: stoning, shaving or shortening the hair, slaughtering the hady if he is a qarin or mutamatti', and the tawaf of ifadah and sa'y. These are four acts of worship. It is best to organize them in order: first he stones the pillar, then he slaughters his hady, then he shaves his head, then he puts on his clothes and applies perfume, then he goes down to Makkah and performs tawaf and sa'y. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and it is the best. This provides ease for the people, because some people find going to Makkah easier for them than stoning, while for others the opposite is true, where stoning is easier for them than going to Makkah. People differ in this regard, so this is a concession for the Muslims.

He was not asked about anything that was done earlier or later except that he said, "Do it, and there is no harm."
