The ruling on performing tawaf and sa'y before the stoning of the pillars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man performed tawaf and sa'y before he stoned the pillar. Is this valid?

Answer:
There is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, and he said: “O Messenger of Allah, is it obligatory
before the Rami (throwing pebbles at the Jamra)." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "There is no harm.قبل أن أرمي؟ قال لا حرج
Sahih al-Bukhari 1722
, is it obligatory to perform the tawaf by throwing the stones? But the best is to throw the stones, then slaughter the sacrifice, then shave the head and perform the tawaf, then perform the tawaf. This is the best, the final tawaf. But if one brings the tawaf before the throwing of the stones, or before the slaughter, or before the shaving, there is no harm. Praise be to Allah. There is no etiquette [issue]. If one brings some of them before others, all of it is permissible.
