[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing on his ride in Mina, and a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I used to think that shaving the head should be done before slaughtering the animal, so I shaved before slaughtering." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter, and there is no harm." Then another man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I used to think that the animal should be slaughtered before stoning, so I slaughtered before stoning." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Stone, and there is no harm." He said, "Whenever someone asked the Prophet ﷺ about something he had already done (in a particular order), he would say, 'Do it, and there is no harm.'"

Messenger of Allah, being ignorant. I shaved before sacrificing, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Now sacrifice (the animal) and there is no harm (for you). Then another man came and he said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Now) throw the pebbles, and there is no harm (for you). Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not asked about anything which had been done before or after (its proper time) but he said: Do it, and no harm is there (for you).

As Messenger of Allah (may peace be'upon him) was standing near the jamra, a person came to him on the Day of Nahr and said: Messenger of Allah, I got (my head shaved) before throwing pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Throw pebbles (now) ; there is no harm in it. Another man (then) came and said: I have sacrificed before throwing the stones. He said: Throw stones (now) and there is no harm. Another came to him and said: I have observed the circumambulation of Ifada of the House before throwing pebbles. He said: Throw pebbles (now) ; there is no harm in it, He (the narrator) said: I did not see that he (the Holy Prophet) was asked about anything on that day, but he said: Do, and there is no harm in it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from clsa ibn Talha that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped for the people at Mina, and they questioned him and a man came and said to him, 'Messenger of Allah, I was unclear about what to do and I shaved before sacrificing,' and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sacrifice, and don't worry.' Then another came to him and said 'Messenger of Allah, I was unclear about what to do and I sacrificed before throwing the stones.' He advised, 'Throw, and don't worry.' " Amr continued, saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not asked about anything done before or after without his saying, "Do it, and don't worry."
