Is it permissible for me on the day of 'Id to throw the Jamrat al-Aqabah, perform tawaf around the House, shave my head, exit the state of ihram, and put on my clothes, and then on the third or second day slaughter my fidyah so that I can eat from it and find others to eat from it as well, or is it necessary to slaughter it before exiting the state of ihram?

The questioner : We see in many years that a lot of meat goes to waste in Mina. So, is it permissible for me on the day of 'Id to throw the Jamrat al-Aqabah, perform tawaf around the House, shave my head, exit the state of ihram, and put on my clothes, and then on the third or second day slaughter my fidyah so that I can eat from it and find others to eat from it as well, or is it necessary to slaughter it before exiting the state of ihram?
The Shaykh : There is no harm in a person slaughtering his hady after exiting the state of ihram. On this occasion, I would like to clarify that the rites performed on the day of 'Id are as follows: first, throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then slaughtering the hady, then the slaughter, then tawaf around the House and sa'y. This is the well-known order of these four rites. However, if some of them are performed before others...
The questioner : You said throwing, then slaughtering, then the slaughter.
The Shaykh : Yes. No.
The questioner : Do you mean shaving?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : First, throwing, then slaughtering the hady, then shaving or shortening the hair, then tawaf around the House. These four rites are performed in this order, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He threw the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then slaughtered his hady, then shaved his head, then performed tawaf.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But if some of them are performed before others, especially out of necessity, there is no harm in that. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked on the day of 'Id about advancing or delaying things, and he was not asked about anything that was advanced or delayed except that he said.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The case of this man, this questioner, falls under this ruling. It means that it is permissible to delay the slaughter to the second day of the days of 'Id and to exit the state of ihram before it, because exiting the state of ihram is not linked to the slaughter of the hady. Rather, exiting the state of ihram is achieved by throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, shaving, and tawaf. In the throwing and the shaving or shortening, one achieves the first exit from the state of ihram. And when one performs tawaf and sa'y, the second exit from the state of ihram is achieved.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the slaughter or the slaughtering of the hady, it has no connection to exiting the state of ihram.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no harm in a person slaughtering his hady after exiting the state of ihram. On this occasion, I would like to clarify that the rites performed on the day of 'Id are as follows: first, throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then slaughtering the hady, then the slaughter, then tawaf around the House and sa'y.

Do it, and there is no blame on you.
