Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I performed Hajj as a mutamatti' and did not sacrifice or shorten my hair; what is the ruling? Please answer us, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The sacrifice is obligatory only for the mutamatti' and the muqarin, whereas the one who performs Hajj alone (ifrad) is not required to offer the sacrificial animal.
As for shortening the hair, you must slaughter an animal in its place as a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it among the poor, because the scholars say: whoever leaves an obligatory act of Hajj, he must slaughter an animal in Makkah and distribute it among the poor.
On this occasion, I advise my Muslim brothers that if they intend to perform Hajj, they should learn the rulings of Hajj before they perform it, because if they perform Hajj without knowledge, they may do things that invalidate their rites without realizing it, and they may not remember this until a long time later. So, if a person intends to perform Hajj, he should learn the rulings of Hajj either by hearing them from scholars directly, or by reading the written manuals of Hajj rites, of which there are many, praise be to Allah.
