Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I hope Shaykh Salih will answer my question. I read from one of the scholars and preachers that he said regarding Hajj, "Do it, there is no harm." Does this statement apply in general?
Answer:
No, this is a lost saying. This is a lost saying. One does not say “do it, there is no harm” except in what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted, and that is by performing some of the rites before others on the Day of Sacrifice, for example, slaughtering before shaving, or shaving before circumambulating the Ka'bah, or slaughtering the sacrificial animal before stoning the pillars, or something similar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not asked on the Day of Sacrifice about anything being brought forward or delayed among these ritesSahih al-Bukhari 1737. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
