What are the prescribed acts for the pilgrim on the Day of Sacrifice?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you. We still need to clarify, Honorable Shaykh, the prescribed acts for the pilgrim on the Day of 'Id al-Adha, and are they in a specific order, Shaykh?
Answer : The prescribed acts for the pilgrim on the Day of Sacrifice, once he arrives at Mina, are first stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, then slaughtering the sacrificial animal, then shaving or shortening the hair, then the tawaf and the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
These are five things in order, as we have mentioned: stoning, slaughtering, shaving or shortening, tawaf, and sa'y. If one does some of them before others, there is no blame on him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the order and the delay on the Day of 'Id, so I say: do it, and there is no blame. His saying "do it, and there is no blame" indicates that the order is not obligatory. If it were obligatory, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would have said there is no blame and no delay.
He did not say to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he hastened to enter the prayerBulugh al-Maram 2:324 "count it," but he said regarding the order and delay on the Day of 'Id: "Do this." This is a command for the future: "Do it, and there is no blame." This indicates that the order between these acts is not a condition. A person is free to do some of them before others. Based on that.
Or if a person went directly from Muzdalifah to Makkah, performed tawaf and sa'y, then went out to Mina and stoned, slaughtered, and shaved, that is permissible. If he stoned then went down to Makkah and performed tawaf and sa'y, there is no blame on him. Yes. If he stoned then shaved or shortened, then slaughtered, there is no blame on him. If, upon arriving in Makkah, he did the sa'y before the tawaf, there is no blame on you. This is permissible, and praise be to Allah. This is a blessing from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His facilitation of worship. Praise be to Allah.
That the order between these things is not obligatory is so that people have some leeway. So one goes to stoning, one goes to slaughtering, and one goes to tawaf, and people differ in what they perform of these acts.

he (Abu Bakrah) bowed before reaching the row. He mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "May Allah increase your eagerness! But do
