Sahih al-Bukhari 1735 (Book 25, Hadith 213) #1664
The Flexibility of Hajj Ceremonies

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the ceremonies of Hajj and he replied that there was no harm in performing them at any time.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet was asked (as regards the ceremonies of Hajj) at Mina on the Day of Nahr and he replied that there was no harm. Then a man said to him, "I got my head shaved before slaughtering". He replied, "Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it". (Another) man said, "I did the Rami (of the Jimar) after midday". The Prophet replied, "There was no harm in it".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُسْأَلُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِمِنًى، فَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ لاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْبَحْ، وَلاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ رَمَيْتُ بَعْدَ مَا أَمْسَيْتُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ حَرَجَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the flexibility of the ceremonies associated with Hajj. It teaches us that it is permissible to perform these rituals at any time, as long as they are done in accordance with Islamic law. For example, a man asked if it was okay to shave his head before slaughtering an animal for sacrifice and the Prophet (ﷺ) said yes. Similarly, another man asked if it was okay to do Rami after midday and again, the Prophet (ﷺ) said yes. This hadith shows us that we should not be too strict when it comes to religious practices; instead we should be flexible and understanding when possible.
