The Order of the Acts on the Day of Sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother questioner asks: In which location was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said, “Do it, and be scrupulous, for it is a difficult matter”? Was he in Mina or at ‘Arafah?
Answer:
There is nothing in it regarding the day of the festival, the Day of Sacrifice, or the acts of the Day of Sacrifice. Their order begins with stoning the pillars, then slaughtering the sacrificial animal, then shaving the head, then circumambulation and walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. These four are arranged in this order, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged them. If one performs some of them before others, there is no need [to repeat them]. He was not asked on this day, the Day of Sacrifice, about anything being brought forward or delayed among these four acts.
