The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : We see some people slaughtering their hady before the Day of Sacrifice. So, if someone slaughters before the Day of Sacrifice and asks us, do we order him to repeat it?
The Shaykh : Yes, if someone slaughters his hady before the Day of Sacrifice and comes to ask us, we ask him: Did he do that out of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), or out of following the answer of one of the scholars? If so, he is not obligated to repeat it, because some scholars hold that it is permissible to slaughter the hady of tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) before the festival. So, if this man is following these scholars, or asked one of the scholars who hold this opinion, and they told him that his slaughter is valid, then we do not order him to repeat the slaughter. However, if he slaughtered before the Day of Sacrifice out of negligence, and it was not based on knowledge or on following a scholar, then he is obligated to repeat the slaughter, because it is not possible to slaughter the hady of tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) and qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram) except on the Day of Sacrifice and after it. The evidence for this is: if it had been possible to slaughter the hady before the Day of Sacrifice, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have slaughtered his hady and exited from his ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage), as he ordered his Companions to do. In fact, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And if it had been permissible to advance the slaughter of the hady before the Day of Sacrifice, he would have slaughtered it and then exited from his ihram. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah guide you. Due to the intense heat and the amount of walking, some men suffer from burns on their thighs. Is it permissible for a man, if he suffers from that, to wear trousers or something similar to them to separate his flesh and protect himself? Because we see some people whose blood may flow from that burn, and he is harmed by it. So what is your advice and guidance?
The Shaykh : We say: It is permissible for a person in this situation

I have the sacrificial animal with me, so I do not exit the state of ihram until I slaughter it.
