Ruling on leaving the Haram for shaving after tawaf and sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a person who leaves the Haram after performing tawaf and sa'y for 'Umrah, in order to shave at the barbers before removing his state of ihram?
Answer:
There is no harm in this. He is in a state of partial release if he performs the acts of those who are released, even if he remains wearing the izār and the rida'. So if he performs tawaf, sa'y, leaves, and shortens his hair or shaves, there is no harm; because he must complete his 'Umrah before removing the clothes, before wearing sewn garments.
The point is: he completes the shaving or shortening after tawaf and sa'y, before wearing sewn garments. Even if he shaves his head or shortens it, and remains in the state of the izār and rida' for a day, two days, or more, there is no harm in that; because it is a lawful garment, and there is no harm in it. Even if he continues in it, this was the dress of the Arabs. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wear it; he wore the izār and the rida'. It is a lawful garment with nothing wrong with it. But the person in ihram remains in this garment until he finishes his ihram; he does not wear sewn garments. Rather, he remains in the izār and rida' if he is a man, until he completes tawaf and sa'y, or shaving and shortening in 'Umrah. And in Hajj, until he throws the pebbles at the Jamarat al-Aqabah, shaves or shortens, or performs tawaf, then he is released by wearing sewn garments, and then he completes the rituals of his Hajj.
And if he performs the three acts, he is released from everything. If he throws the pebbles and shaves or shortens, and performs tawaf and sa'y if sa'y was required of him, his release is complete; he becomes fully released. And if he performs two of these three: by throwing the pebbles and shaving or shortening, or throwing the pebbles and performing tawaf, or performing tawaf and shaving or shortening; he achieves the first release, and the second release remains for him when he completes it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. As for the person performing 'Umrah, is it not required that he remove the clothes of ihram upon being released...?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for him to wear sewn garments until he completes it. If he performs tawaf and sa'y, he remains in the izār and rida', or the izār only, until he shaves or shortens. Then after this, if he wishes, he removes the clothes and wears the sewn garment, the shirt, or covers his head; there is no harm. But he is not allowed to cover his head, and he is not allowed to wear sewn garments until he completes the ritual of 'Umrah: from tawaf, sa'y, and shortening, or shaving if he is a man.
As for if it is a woman, the woman is permitted to wear sewn garments; because she is 'awrah. But she does not wear the niqab, and she does not wear gloves until she completes the rituals of 'Umrah: by tawaf, sa'y, and shortening. If she performs tawaf and sa'y, and shortens her hair; she is released. It is permissible for her to use perfume, cut her hair, trim her nails, wear the niqab, and wear gloves; because she is released by tawaf, sa'y, and shortening. Yes.
