Hadith of the day

I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about religious problems). A man asked, “O Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him)! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal) before doing the Rami.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “Do the Rami (now) and there is no harm.” Another person asked, “O Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him)! I got my head shaved before slaughtering the animal.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “Do the slaughtering (now) and there is no harm.” So on that day, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) 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.
