The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. My question is about the first exit from the state of consecration in Hajj, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The first exit from the state of consecration.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Most of the scholars said that it is achieved by one of two of the three acts, but Ibn Qudamah transmitted from al-Shafi'i in al-Mughni—I think—that the exit is achieved by a single act of worship. So, is it possible to analogize that to shaving the head, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : To shaving the head?
The questioner : Yes, if we count shaving the head among the acts of worship that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed on the Day of Sacrifice.
The Shaykh : I did not understand the question. I understood that the first exit is achieved by one or two acts, and I did not understand the elaboration based on that.
The questioner : It is established that the exit is achieved by stoning the pillars alone, just as it is achieved by stoning.
The Shaykh : Leave me alone with what is established and what is not, because we have not reached that point yet, and it is up to me, not you. But the point is, what do you want to ask?
The questioner : Yes, if the first exit is established by a single act of worship.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So, can we analogize shaving the head to that, if we consider it an act of worship among the acts performed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : On the Day of Sacrifice? So, can we analogize it to stoning the Pillar of Aqabah?
The Shaykh : Yes, I understood. It is well known that the hadith reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 12:236, and in another wording: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:929. And the statement of some jurists that if one performs two of the three acts, the first exit is achieved, has no evidence for it. Rather, it is said that the first exit is linked either to stoning alone, or to stoning and shaving. As for two of three, although it has some merit in terms of consideration, it is weak. So, one should restrict oneself to what the text has brought, which is stoning and shaving.
As for whether the exit is achieved by stoning alone, or by stoning and shaving?
The correct view is that it is not achieved except by stoning and shaving. Because the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), in which she said:Sahih Muslim 1189c. And it is well known that there was no circumambulation of the House on the part of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) except after stoning and shaving. If he had exited before shaving, she would have said: "And he exited before he shaved." So, when she said: , we know that he does not exit except by shaving, in the first exit.
Also, the exit was made contingent upon shaving in the issue of being prevented from completing the pilgrimage. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was prevented at al-Hudaybiyyah, he ordered them to shave and then exit. And there is no exit for the one who is prevented except after shaving.
So, the correct view is that the first exit is not achieved except after stoning and shaving. And if one stoned and circumambulated, he does not exit. And if he shaved and circumambulated, he does not exit. Rather, the exit is restricted to what the text has brought, which is stoning and shaving. Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, I understood. It is well known that the hadith reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is:
When you have stoned, then everything is lawful for you except women.
إذا رميتم فقد حلَّ لكم كلّ شيء إلاّ النّساءWhen you have stoned and shaved, then everything is lawful for you except women.
إذا رميتم وحلقتم ، فقد حلّ لكم كلّ شيء إلاّ النّساءAs for whether the exit is achieved by stoning alone, or by stoning and shaving?
The correct view is that it is not achieved except by stoning and shaving. Because the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), in which she said:
I used to apply perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before his entering upon the state of Ihram and at the conclusion of it, before circumambulating the House (for Tawaf Ifada).
كنت أطيّب النّبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم لإحرامه قبل أن يحرم، ولحلّه قبل أن يطوف بالبيتbefore he circumambulated
قبل أن يطوفAlso, the exit was made contingent upon shaving in the issue of being prevented from completing the pilgrimage. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was prevented at al-Hudaybiyyah, he ordered them to shave and then exit. And there is no exit for the one who is prevented except after shaving.
So, the correct view is that the first exit is not achieved except after stoning and shaving. And if one stoned and circumambulated, he does not exit. And if he shaved and circumambulated, he does not exit. Rather, the exit is restricted to what the text has brought, which is stoning and shaving. Yes.
