Tahallul and hair cutting
What is the ruling if a pilgrim has already performed tahallul and then remembers that his tawaf was fewer than seven rounds?
Answer in brief
A tawaf of fewer than seven rounds is considered invalid. The pilgrim must complete the tawaf, then perform the sai and shave or trim his hair. He must also pay a dam for cutting his hair before the tawaf and sai were complete. This is a dam of choice with fixed amounts (takhyir and taqdir): slaughtering one goat in the Haram, giving two measures of food to each of six poor people in the Haram, or fasting three days.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Merujuk kepada persoalan di atas, tawaf itu tidak sah dan dia wajib mencukupkan tawafnya kemudia melakukan sa'ie dan bercukur atau bergunting rambut. Wajib ke atasnya membayar dam kerana menggunting rambut sebelum sempurna tawaf dan sa'ie.
