Sacrifice depends on Hajj type
Do not assume the same sacrifice ruling applies to every pilgrim. Requirements can depend on the type of Hajj and personal circumstances. Use your authorized Hajj program and qualified religious guidance.
Use authorized arrangements
Follow the official or organizer-provided process for any required offering. Avoid informal arrangements that are not part of your authorized Hajj service or current Saudi system.
Shaving or trimming the hair
Men may shave or trim according to the applicable Hajj guidance; women trim from the ends of the hair. Detailed amounts and personal rulings should be confirmed through qualified religious guidance.
The transition from Ihram
