Sunan Abi Dawud 1983 (Book 11, Hadith 263) #22275
The Flexibility of Hajj Rites

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the rites of Hajj and he answered that there is no harm in performing them late or out of order.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet was asked (about rites of Hajj) on the day of stay at Mina. He said: No harm. A man asked him: I got myself shaved before I slaughtered. He said: Slaughter, there is no harm. He again asked: The evening came but I did not throw stones at the Jamrah. He replied: Throw stones now ; there is no harm.
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يُسْأَلُ يَوْمَ مِنًى فَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ لاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْبَحْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ وَلَمْ أَرْمِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْمِ وَلاَ حَرَجَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Try your best to perform religious practices correctly and have good intentions behind what you do.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the flexibility and leniency of the rituals associated with Hajj. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, that a man asked him about certain rites associated with Hajj on the day they were supposed to be performed. The Prophet ﷺ replied that it was okay if they were done late or out of order. This teaches us that even though there are certain rituals associated with religious practices, Allah is merciful and understanding when it comes to our mistakes or inability to perform them perfectly. We should not be too hard on ourselves if we make mistakes in our religious practices as long as we are trying our best and have good intentions behind what we do.
