Is there a connection between slaughtering the sacrificial animal and exiting the state of ihram?

Question : All right, how is the first exit from ihram achieved?

Answer : By stoning the pillars, shaving the head, or shortening the hair. All right, slaughtering the sacrificial animal has no connection to exiting the state of ihram. A person can perform the first and second exit from ihram even if he does not slaughter, meaning if he stoned, shaved, performed tawaf, and sa'y, and did not slaughter, the first exit from ihram is permissible. Slaughtering has absolutely no connection to exiting the state of ihram. This is the well-known position among the scholars of knowledge. Some scholars have said that the one who brings the sacrificial animal does not exit the state of ihram until he slaughters it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I have brought the sacrificial animal, so I do not exit the state of ihram until I slaughter it."
