If one says that performing two of the three acts permits the first exit from the state of consecration, is this correct?

The questioner : Some scholars have formulated a rule that if one performs two of the three acts, the stoning is permitted, and if one performs the circumambulation and the shaving, it is permitted?
The Shaykh : I do not know of any basis for this rule other than analogical reasoning. They said that if one performs two of the three acts, the first exit from the state of consecration is permitted, which are the stoning, the shaving, and the circumambulation. As for the stoning and the shaving, it is clear that if one performs the stoning and the shaving, the first exit from the state of consecration is permitted, as the Sunnah has stated. As for if one performs the stoning and the circumambulation but does not shave, they say: if the circumambulation has an effect in the second exit from the state of consecration, then let it have an effect in the first exit from the state of consecration. Do you understand? The circumambulation has an effect in the second exit from the state of consecration, because if one performs the stoning and the shaving, the first exit from the state of consecration is permitted, so if one performs the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, the second exit from the state of consecration is permitted. So they said: if the circumambulation has an effect in the first exit from the state of consecration, let it have an effect in the second exit from the state of consecration. It is a matter of analogical reasoning, and there is no explicit text from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it.
The questioner : The third scenario remains: what if one performs the circumambulation and the shaving but does not perform the stoning?
The Shaykh : If one performs the circumambulation and the shaving, the first exit from the state of consecration is permitted, according to the opinion of those who hold this rule, or who mention this criterion.
