Is it permissible for a person in ihram to wear his clothes before shaving his head and before the tawaf of ifadah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable Shaykh says: I performed Hajj this year as a mutamatti', and on the Day of Sacrifice I performed the following acts: I stoned the Jamarat al-Aqabah, then I slaughtered the hady, and after that I put on my clothes, then I shaved my head, and then I performed the tawaf of ifadah. The question is: Is my action valid? And if not, what is obligatory for me now?

Answer:
Your action is valid if you stoned the pillar and slaughtered the fidyah, meaning you put on your clothes before shaving. There is no mistake in this, because you exited the state of ihram, and you had only done one thing, which was stoning the pillar. This is a mistake, and the obligation was for you to wait until the shaving, and not to put on your clothes until you shaved. You should do two of the three rites of exit from ihram, which are the clothes of the khalfah by which one exits ihram. The three are: stoning the pillar, shaving the head or shortening the hair, and the tawaf. The tawaf means the tawaf of ifadah and the sa'y.
So if you do two of these three, you may wear your clothes and use perfume. And if you do all three, you exit the state of ihram completely, and everything that was forbidden to you by ihram, such as your wife and others, becomes permissible to you. As for what you did, which was putting on your clothes after stoning only, you had only done one thing. This is a mistake, but there is nothing upon you for it. However, in the future, do not put on your clothes until you have done two of these three.
