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: “Rest, O Messenger of Allah. Have you completed your pilgrimage?”
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
“Have you completed your pilgrimage” means that you have performed tawaf with the intention of completing it. However, the best is to stone, then slaughter, then perform your tawaf, and then complete it. This is the best, your final tawaf. But if you perform tawaf before the stoning, or before the slaughter, or before the shaving, there is no harm. Praise be to Allah. There is no prohibition. If you perform some of them before others, it is all permissible.
