The Difference Between the First and Second Exit from Ihram

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is meant by the first exit from ihram and the second exit from ihram, and what is the difference between them with regard to need?

Answer:
On the day of the festival, there are three acts: stoning the pillars, shaving the head, and the circumambulation of the sa'y. If he performs all three on the day of the festival or after the day of the festival, he exits from ihram completely, and the prohibitions of ihram become permissible for him, including his wife. This is the second exit from ihram. If he performs two of these three, he exits from ihram partially, and everything among the prohibitions of ihram becomes permissible for him except his wife; he does not approach her until he performs the third, and then she becomes permissible for him. This is the difference between them. Yes.
