Question:
You ask, finally, and say: When is the state of ihram released?
Answer:
Once the person in ihram has stoned the Aqabah pillar, and the woman likewise, it is permissible for him to release himself from the state of ihram, though the prohibition regarding women remains. It is better if he also shaves his head or shortens his hair; when he stones, he should shave or shorten, and the woman likewise should shorten her hair, so that he has performed two of three things. The release is achieved through three matters: circumambulation, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah—if walking is required of him—and stoning, and shaving or shortening the hair. These are three.
When the person in ihram has performed the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah, stoned the Aqabah pillar on the day of the festival, and shaved or shortened his hair, his release from the prohibitions regarding women and other matters is complete, including wearing sewn clothing, covering the head, and approaching his wife. The woman likewise, when she has stoned the pillar, performed the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah, and shortened her hair, achieves full release.
If she is performing tamattu', or the man is performing tamattu', walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah is necessary, whether he is performing qiran, combining Hajj and 'Umrah, or tamattu'. For release from 'Umrah, walking is necessary along with circumambulation. Thus, the release is complete when he circumambulates, walks, stones the pillar on the day of the festival, and shaves or shortens if he is a man, or shortens if she is a woman. This completes the release.
If he performs two of the three, meaning he stones and shaves or shortens, the first release is achieved. The prohibition regarding women remains, but he may cover his head, wear sewn clothing, apply perfume, cut his nails, and do other such things. The prohibition regarding women remains. The woman likewise, when she has circumambulated, stoned the pillar, and shortened her hair, is released from everything that was prohibited to her by the state of ihram except her husband. When she has circumambulated and walked, along with stoning and shortening, the full release is achieved: the husband, perfume, cutting nails, cutting hair, and the like, meaning a complete release.
In the case of the one performing tamattu' and the one performing qiran, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah is necessary along with the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah. As for the one performing ifrad, who has entered the state of ihram for Hajj alone, the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah is sufficient for him, provided he walked with the arrival circumambulation; the first walking suffices him, and the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah on the day of the festival, along with stoning and shaving or shortening, is sufficient. He achieves full release through circumambulation, stoning, and shaving or shortening. The woman likewise, if she walked with the arrival circumambulation and she had entered the state of ihram for Hajj, then stoning, circumambulation, and shortening are sufficient for her.
Likewise, the one performing qiran, who came with Hajj and 'Umrah, has the same ruling as the one performing ifrad for Hajj if he walked with the arrival circumambulation; the first walking suffices him, and nothing remains for him except the circumambulation of Tawaf al-Ifadah. When he stones, circumambulates, and shaves or shortens, his release is complete. Yes.
