What is required of the one who is prevented (muhasar) if he finds the sacrificial animal or if he does not?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one who is prevented (muhasar) finds the sacrificial animal or does not find it, is he required to shave his head?

Answer:
The one who is prevented (muhasar), yes, he exits the state of ihram. What remains is that he is in a state of ihram; he shaves his head as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid the ransom, then shaved first, then paid the ransom. So both things are necessary: shaving and slaughtering. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it, and he also ordered his Companions to do so. Yes.
