A pilgrim who exited his state of ihram after stoning the pillars but before shaving or slaughtering: is anything required of him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I performed Hajj, and when I stoned the Aqabah pillar on the Day of Sacrifice, I immediately removed my ihram garments and put on my regular clothes before slaughtering or shaving. Please tell me if my action was valid?
The Shaykh:
The most cautious position, which is the view of the majority of scholars and the practice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), is that one does not remove the ihram garments or exit the state of ihram until he has done two of the three: stoning the Aqabah pillar, shaving or shortening the hair, and circumambulating the Ka'bah with the sa'y if he is required to perform the sa'y. If he does all three, he exits the state of ihram completely, and everything that was forbidden to him by the ihram becomes permissible. If he does two of these three, such as stoning the pillar and shaving his head, then everything that was forbidden to him by the ihram becomes permissible except women. As for stoning the pillar alone, the majority hold that it is not sufficient; it must be accompanied by something else, either shaving or circumambulating with the sa'y if he is among those for whom the sa'y is obligatory.
The questioner:
And what has happened has happened. What is required of Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
What has happened has happened. We say his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, but he should not return to such a thing.
The presenter:
Yes.
