Tahallul and hair cutting
What is the ruling if a pilgrim stones the Sughra jamrah on 10 Dhul Hijjah and then trims his hair?
Answer in brief
A pilgrim who mistakenly stones the Sughra jamrah on 10 Dhul Hijjah does not attain the first tahallul even if he then trims his hair, because the stoning on that day must be done at the Kubra jamrah. He is counted as having completed only one of the three acts that bring about the first tahallul. The trimming itself is not an offence, since it is already permitted at that time. The first tahallul is achieved by performing two of three acts: stoning the Kubra jamrah, the tawaf and sa'i (if not yet performed), and shaving or trimming the hair.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Dalam hal ini, sememangnya tidak akan terhasil tahallul awwal bagi jemaah haji yang melakukan lontaran pada hari 10 Zulhijjah di Jamratul Sughra sekalipun kemudian dia menggunting rambutnya.
