What is the ruling on exiting the state of ihram before slaughtering the sacrifice in Hajj

The questioner : Peace be upon you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : Shaykh, I just want to ask you about exiting the state of ihram before slaughtering. What is the ruling on that?

The Shaykh : If a person throws the pebbles on the day of 'Id and shortens his hair.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : He has performed the first exit from ihram, and he may take off his ihram clothes, and there is no blame on him.

The questioner : But we performed Hajj last year and we exited the state of ihram before we slaughtered.

The Shaykh : It does not contradict what is in your possession.

The questioner : There is nothing wrong, is there?

The Shaykh : Yes, you may perform the first exit from ihram even if you did not slaughter.

The questioner : Yes, okay, we will catch up with them in...

The Shaykh : If a person throws the pebbles on the day of 'Id and shaves his head like a man or shortens his hair, and the woman shortens hers,

The questioner : We circumambulated, then we shortened our hair. I am saying we circumambulated, then we shortened our hair.

The Shaykh : There is no obstacle, there is no obstacle, if Allah wills.

The questioner : Then we exited the state of ihram before we slaughtered.

The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong in your mind, if Allah wills, there is nothing wrong in your mind.
