SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 26: PILGRIMMAGE (HAJJ)
The Prophet was asked about a person who had his head shaved before slaughtering (his Hadi) (or
other similar ceremonies of Hajj). He replied, "There is no harm, there is no harm."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 780:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
A man said to the Prophet "I performed the Tawaf-al-Ifada before the Rami (throwing pebbles at
the Jamra)." The Prophet replied, "There is no harm." The man said, "I had my head shaved before
slaughtering." The Prophet replied, "There is no harm." He said, "I have slaughtered the Hadi before
the Rami." The Prophet replied, "There is no harm."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 781:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet was asked by a man who said, "I have done the Rami in the evening." The Prophet
replied, "There is no harm in it." Another man asked, "I had my head shaved before the slaughtering."
The Prophet replied, "There is no harm in it."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 782:
Narrated Abu Musa:
came upon Allah's Apostle when he was at Al-Bat-ha. He asked me, "Have you intended to per-
form the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "For what have you assumed lhram?" I replied,"
I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet ." The Prophet said, "You have
done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa." Then I went to
one of the women of Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihram for
Hajj. So, I used to give this verdict to the people till the caliphate of 'Umar. When I told him about it,
he said, "If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and 'Umra (Hajj-at-
Tamattu') and if we follow the tradition of Allah's Apostle then Allah's Apostle did not finish his
lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination (had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). (See
Hadith No. 630)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 783:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Hafsa said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is wrong with the people; they finished their Ihram after per-
forming 'Umra, but you have not finished it after your 'Umra?" He replied, "I matted my hair and
have garlanded my Hadi. So, I cannot finish my Ihram till I slaughter (my Hadi). "
