The Case of One Who Mixes up the Order of the Acts of Al-Hajj, (Like Performing Tawaf of Ziyarat Before Shaving One’s Head)

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja’far, al-Thani عليه السلام, saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, a man of our people has thrown pebbles on al-Jamar on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) and shaved before slaughtering his offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ’It was the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) when many groups of Muslim people came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. They said, “O Messenger of Allah, we slaughtered before throwing pebbles and shaved before slaughtering our offering. Nothing was left of the acts that were before but they had delayed or that which was later they had done it before.” The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, “You are not required to face any complexity. There is no difficulty (to cause suffering).””’

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Sahl ibn Ziyad all ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “This is about a man who visits the House before shaving. Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, has said, ‘If he has knowingly visited the House before shaving, it is not proper, thus he owes one sheep.’”

4. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is about a man who forgets to slaughter his offering in Mina’ until he visits the House; then buys an offering in Makkah and slaughters it. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ’It is not harmful and it is sufficient for him.’”
