The questioner : And that is that I performed Hajj, and after my departure, I and those with me from Muzdalifah went to the Haram and did not throw the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then we returned to Mina and slaughtered and shaved and rested until Asr, then we went to the pillar and threw it. Is what we did in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah, or is there anything upon us regarding this? I hope to hear the answer broadcast in the near future?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. The brothers did this, and that is that when they descended from Muzdalifah, they went to the Sacred Mosque and performed the Tawaf of Ifadah, then they returned to Mina and shaved, is that so?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : And they slaughtered, then they rested, and in the evening, at the end of the day.
The questioner : No, they slaughtered before shaving.
The Shaykh : Yes, they slaughtered, then they shaved and rested.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And at the end of the day, they threw the Jamrat al-Aqabah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Their action is in accordance with the dispensation (rukhsah), but it is not in accordance with what is best.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And that is because the best on the Day of Eid is for a person to do the following: when he arrives at Mina after the sun has risen, he begins by throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, throwing it with seven pebbles, then he slaughters his sacrificial animal, then he shaves his head or shortens it, and shaving is better.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And with this, the first release (tahallul) is permitted, then he descends to the House to perform the Tawaf of Ifadah and to sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah if he was in tamattu' or qiran, or if he was performing ifrad and had not performed sa'y with the Tawaf of Arrival.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And with this, the entire release (tahallul) is permitted, then he returns to Mina.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : These are four things he does in the following order: throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then slaughtering the sacrificial animal, then shaving or shortening, then the Tawaf with sa'y.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is the best, but if he advances some of them over others, especially out of necessity, there is no blame on him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked on the Day of Eid about advancing and delaying, and he was not asked about anything being advanced or delayed except that he said.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So the brothers' action is in accordance with the dispensation (rukhsah), but it is not in accordance with what is best, and there is nothing upon them, and no blood money (dam) upon them.
The questioner : You have done well. This message is from the Iraqi Republic, Baghdad, from Abdullah Hamid. The brother Abdullah suggests that you extend the duration of the program, saying that approximately twenty minutes is not sufficient, which causes the scholars to rush in giving the answer and cutting off some or all of it sometimes. He hopes to increase the program to one hour, and if that is not possible, then to half an hour. We hope that will be the case, if Allah wills, O brother Abdullah Hamid from the Iraqi Republic.
And he says, I have a group of questions, I hope you do not leave anything out of them, even if that requires splitting them into several episodes.
His first message or question says: When I visit the grave or shrine of one of the righteous men, after the greeting, I recite Surat al-Ikhlas eight times and I supplicate to Allah for the dead or the owner of the shrine, beginning with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
The questioner : Then I conclude my recitation and supplication by saying, and I offer to them from me the reward of Surat al-Fatihah and I recite it. Is my action correct, and what do you advise me? And is it permissible when I visit the grave of a righteous man to pray two rak'ahs for Allah the Exalted next to the grave and to recite the Qur'an and supplicate for him? And is it obligatory for one who enters a cemetery to recite Surat Yasin?
The Shaykh : This question contains several paragraphs.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I hope you give them one by one...
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. The brothers did this, and that is that when they descended from Muzdalifah, they went to the Sacred Mosque and performed the Tawaf of Ifadah, then they returned to Mina and shaved, is that so?

Do it, and there is no blame on you.
