The ruling on shaving and slaughtering before Fajr in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man left Muzdalifah in the last third of the night, so he shaved, slaughtered the sacrificial animal, and stoned the pillars before the dawn prayer?
Slaughtering is not done except after the dawn prayer.
The questioner: It is not valid, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: It is not valid except after the dawn prayer, but there is no harm in shaving and stoning.
The questioner: Does he shave first?The Shaykh: There is no harm in that.
The questioner: And he stones immediately at Fajr?The Shaykh: No.
He only stones before Fajr when he arrives in Mina; he stones then.
The questioner: The sacrificial animal, may Allah reward you?The Shaykh: As for the sacrificial animal, when the dawn prayer breaks, it is permissible for him to slaughter it, but before the dawn prayer it is not permissible; because the Day of Sacrifice means that it does not begin until after the dawn prayer.
