We performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and then shaved our heads. Do we owe anything?
You performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and shaved your heads,Meaning: Did you perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) before sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah)?The questioner: No,The Shaykh: When you arrived at Muzdalifah, what did you do?The questioner: We performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), after Muzdalifah.
The Shaykh: After Muzdalifah, we went immediately to perform sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah).
The questioner: We performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and then shaved our heads.
The Shaykh: There is no harm; there is no obstacle.
The questioner: We exited the state of ihram after performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and shaving our heads, and then we made tawaf al-ifadah (the farewell circumambulation) our tawaf al-wada' (the farewell circumambulation). Is there any harm in that?The Shaykh: Did you exit the state of ihram after stoning the pillars, or after tawaf al-sa'y (the circumambulation for sa'y)?The questioner: We performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), then shaved our heads, then exited the state of ihram, and then we stoned the pillars.
The Shaykh: This is a mistake. One cannot exit the state of ihram except after stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah (the largest pillar). Keep this in mind. As for the exiting of the state of ihram that you did, you were acting out of ignorance, and the ignorant person is excused, so you owe nothing. But do not return to this.
