Tawaf before the slaughter and the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So eat from it”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah love you. In his second question, he says: We paid the banks, and we did not know the time at which they opened. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, says:
So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا الْبَائِسَ الْفَقِيرَ
[Al-Hajj 22:28]
up to His saying: “And let them circumambulate the ancient House.” So, is it not permissible to circumambulate the ancient House except after completing what is mentioned in the noble verse?

Answer:
It is not obligatory. No, it is not obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, and a man said: “O Messenger of Allah,
Did I slaughter before I sacrificed? He said: There is no harm.حنقت قبل أن أنحر؟ فقال لا حرج
, and indeed he said:
Did I slaughter before I circumambulated? Did I slaughter before I sacrificed? He said: There is no harm.أفرت قبل أن أطوف، أفرت قبل أن أنحر؟ قال لا حرج،
If the calamity has befallen you, what harm is there in it? When do they slaughter? When you have stoned the pillars and shaved your head, you have exited the state of ihram. Then, when you have circumambulated and performed sa'y, the exit is complete. As for the slaughter, it has no connection to this; the slaughter has no connection to this, to the exit or the prohibition. If you agreed with them, praise be to Allah. And if you slaughtered it yourself and ate from it and fed others, that is better than eating for nothing. The one who slaughters it himself, eats from it, and feeds others is better. Yes.
