The Order of Shaving, Shortening, and Slaughtering After Stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner asks whether shaving or shortening the hair comes after stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah or after the correct order of the pillars.

The Shaykh:
After the stoning, if he has stoned, meaning the position of shortening, this is the Sunnah. The slaughter can be done in between if you wish; if he has a sacrifice, it is done in between, after the stoning and before the slaughter, and this is better. If he slaughters after that, there is no harm. However, if the slaughter is after the stoning and before the shaving, that is better. If he delays the slaughter to the second day and has stoned, shaved, and exited the state of ihram, there is no harm. This is the fourth matter, if Allah wills. Yes.

Another questioner:
Regarding shortening the hair, O Shaykh, does it include the entire head?

The Shaykh:
He does it like this; this is the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would run his hand over the head like this. Does he shave the hair on the head? No,

Another questioner:
Allah the Exalted said: And of the people of the faith
And do not shave your heads untilوَلَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
the religions.

The Shaykh:
This is for the one who is prevented (muhasar), "if you are prevented," which prevents one from entering Makkah, prevents one from performing Hajj. He slaughters, then shaves, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. So when he was prevented from Makkah, he was ordered to slaughter and then shave. Then the pilgrims? No, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, he said: A man shaved his head? He said: There is no harm.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
