Volume 3 – 88 – Those Who Hasten or Delay in Duties Related to Hajj
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr bin As (may Allah be pleased with him) that:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) halted at Mina during the Farewell Hajj, and people were questioning him. A man came to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I shaved before sacrificing [an animal], unintentionally.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said, "Sacrifice, there is no harm." Another man came and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I sacrificed a camel before throwing stones, unintentionally.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said, "Throw the stones, there is no harm." That day, he responded with, “Do it, there is no harm,” to every action that people had performed first or deferred. [59]
Usāmah ibn Sharīk (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on pilgrimage. People came to him asking questions. Among them were those who said, "O Messenger of Allah! I performed Sa'y without having made Tawaf, or I advanced a Hajj rite or postponed it."
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say, “There is no difficulty in that, except for the one who transgresses upon the right of another Muslim unjustly; he has fallen into hardship and ruin.”
**EXPLANATION:**
*Iktirāz:* Means "to cut off." That is, if one verbally transgresses upon the rights of other believers, we have translated it accordingly.
According to the apparent meaning of the hadith, a person who shaves or slaughters his sacrificial animal before throwing stones at the Aqabah Jamrah on the first day of Eid does not require a fidyah (atonement), whether he forgets or does so intentionally; there is no difference. This is the position of Shafi'i, Mujahid, and Tawus. Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ishaq say: nothing is required for one who performs these actions through forgetfulness. According to Ibn Abbas, Sa’id bin Jubayr, Qatadah, and Malik, a penalty sacrifice (ceza kurban) is required for whoever performs one of these rites. The position of Imam al-A'zam is also like this. According to the Hanafi school, the statement in the honorable hadith, "There is no difficulty," means that there is nothing regarding sin; it does not mean a penalty sacrifice (ceza kurban) is required.
