THE ORDER OF ACTS ON THE 10TH OF DHUL HIJJAH

The ayah says, Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manasik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Kaaba at Mecca). (Al-Hajj 22:29)

From which we derive the order of acts on the day as follows:

1. Rumi – Stoning Jamarah

2. Halaq wa Taqseer – Shave or trim hair

3. Dhabi Hadi – Slaughter animal

4. Tawaful Ifaadah – Tawaf of Hajj

However to do it in a different order is acceptable as the following hadith say. Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amar:

I saw the Prophet near the Jamarah and the people were asking him questions (about religious problems). A man asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal) before doing the Rami.” The Prophet replied, “Do the Rami (now) and there is no harm.” Another person asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! I got my head shaved before slaughtering the animal.” The Prophet replied, “Do the slaughtering (now) and there is no harm.” So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of hajj performed before or after its due time his reply was, “Do it (now) and there is no harm.” [Bukhari]
