Issue: If he performed some of them before others, is that permissible?
Yes.
It is permissible. The Imam of the Muftis, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), issued a ruling on this. He was never asked about anything to be performed first or last on that day without saying: “Do it, and there is no harm.” He did not say, “Do it, but do not repeat it.”And when Abu Bakrah hurried to catch up with the rak'ah, he said: (May Allah increase your zeal, but do not repeat it.) If the order were obligatory and excused by ignorance, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have said, “Do it, but do not repeat it.”Rather He said: (Do it, and there is no harm.) This is from the mercy of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); because when the matter is open, some people go from Muzdalifah to Mecca to perform tawaf and sa’y, then return to stone the pillars. Or some people stone the pillars, then descend to Mecca before slaughtering or shaving. Or some people stone the pillars, then shave to complete the first exit from ihram, and slaughter while still wearing their clothes. The important thing is that this is from the mercy of Allah, and praise be to Allah, and from the vastness of Allah’s knowledge; for He (Exalted and Majestic is He) knew that making the order obligatory would be a hardship for people. The most complete way is to follow the order, but a person has a dispensation to start with whatever he wishes.
