The ruling on not arranging the five rites of the Day of 'Id in their proper order
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Issue: We have now understood that when a person arrives at Mina, he does five things, all on the Day of 'Id, arranged as follows: 1- Stoning the Pillar of al-'Aqabah.
2- Then the sacrifice.
3- Then shaving the head or shortening the hair.
4- Then the circumambulation.
5- Then the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
This is the prescribed order, but if one performs some of them before others, is that permissible?
Yes.
It is permissible without blame, without blood money, and without any deficiency; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about advancing or delaying, and he was not asked about anything except that he said: Do it, and there is no blame,Until it was said to him: (I performed the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah before the circumambulation,He said: there is no blame) and this is from the facilitation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And here is a point: The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed in their opinions on this issue,Some of them said: there is no blame, but he owes blood money for missing the order, and this is a weak opinion;Because it contradicts the hadith: (there is no blame) and he did not order him to pay a ransom. Did the obligation of a ransom escape the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him)? By Allah, absolutely not. Or was it present to him but he concealed it? Far from it,Therefore: making blood money obligatory is the weakest of the opinions.
And some said: Advancing and delaying is permissible if it is due to ignorance or forgetfulness,Because some of the questioners said: I did not notice, so I did such and such before such and such. Basing the ruling on ignorance or forgetfulness contradicts basing it on intention, and this is also weak; because the questioner was asked about a situation that happened to him where he forgot and advanced and delayed,So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (there is no blame) but did he say to him: Do not repeat it?He did not say: Do not repeat it,Rather He said: (there is no blame) and in some wordings: (Do it, and there is no blame) (Do it) meaning: in the future. So restricting that to ignorance and forgetfulness is weak; because if it were not permissible in the general case, the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) would have said: Do not repeat it, just as he said to Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he hurried and bowed before reaching the row,He said to him: (May Allah increase your eagerness, and do not repeat it) and he did not say: there is no blame. So the important point is that not arranging the rites is permissible without blame, whether intentionally, out of ignorance, or out of forgetfulness,But the consideration remains as to which is better: The order or the lack of it? The order is undoubtedly better; because it is the action of the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him),And he said: (Take your rites from me) .
If someone were to say: If it is easier for me to advance the circumambulation before the stoning and shaving or shortening; because I have women with me and I fear that menstruation will come to them before the circumambulation of completion, so I am forced to stay in Makkah or go to my country and return when the woman becomes pure?We said: Now, it may be better for you to start with the circumambulation even if you go against the order,Due to the generality of the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [al-Hajj: 78] ,and His saying, the Exalted: [al-Baqarah: 185] .
2- Then the sacrifice.
3- Then shaving the head or shortening the hair.
4- Then the circumambulation.
5- Then the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
