The pilgrim's actions on the day of 'Id
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Five: On the day of 'Id, after leaving Muzdalifah, the pilgrim performs five acts: stoning the pillars, slaughtering the sacrificial animal, shaving the head, circumambulation of the Ka'bah, and then walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. These five are to be performed in this order, and this is the best. But is it permissible to perform some of them before others?
Yes, it is permissible; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked on the Day of Sacrifice about performing acts earlier or later, and he was never asked about any act being brought forward or delayed except that he said: (Do it, and there is no blame on you). From this, it follows that if one slaughters the sacrificial animal before stoning the pillars, for example, after the dawn has broken but before the sun rises, is that permissible? Or must one not slaughter until the sun has risen a spear's length and the time for the 'Id prayer has passed, as is the case with the 'Id sacrifice?Answer: It is permissible to slaughter after the dawn breaks in Mina; because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about slaughtering before stoning, he said: (There is no blame on you). And since stoning is permissible immediately after the sun rises, it follows that slaughtering is also permissible before the sun rises.For this reason, the scholars said: If one slaughters the sacrificial animal on the day of 'Id, it is permissible from after the dawn breaks.
