Wearing Makhit prior to completing the first Tahalul


A: What you did by wearing your clothes after throwing Jamarat-ul-Aqabah and before shaving or shortening your hair was wrong except if you had made Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) because it is necessary to make Tahallul (removal of the ritual state for Hajj and Umrah) from two of the three things: throwing the pebbles (at the pebble-throwing area during Hajj), shaving or shortening the hair and Tawaf-ul-Ifadah. Performing Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and Umrah) is for those who still have to perform it. However, because you were ignorant of the ruling, you do not have to offer a Fidyah (ransom) and your Hajj is valid In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
