Tawaaf and Sa'i, he shortens or shaves his hair, and he has thereby exited the state of Ihram (2) from his Umrah, if (3) he does not have a sacrificial animal (hady) with him; based on what was narrated by Ibn Umar, who said: The people performed Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) during the Hajj. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived in Makkah, he said to the people: "Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him shall not exit any state of prohibition he entered until he completes his Hajj, and whoever does not have a sacrificial animal with him, let him circumambulate the House and [walk between] al-Safa and al-Marwah, then let him shorten his hair and exit [the state of Ihram]."

Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad being asked about someone who entered Makkah as a Mu'tamir (performing Umrah) and did not shorten his hair until the Day of Tarwiyah; is there anything upon him? He said: This person has not exited the state of Ihram yet; he should shorten his hair, then enter into Ihram for Hajj, and there is nothing upon him, but what he did was bad.
Section: As for the one who has a sacrificial animal with him, it is not permissible for him to exit the state of Ihram, but he remains in his state of Ihram, incorporates the Hajj into the Umrah, and then does not exit the state of Ihram until he exits it from both of them together. Ahmad stated this explicitly. This is the opinion of Abu Hanifah. Another narration from Ahmad states that it is permissible for him to shorten his hair, specifically, and he must not touch his nails or mustache at all. This was narrated from Ibn Umar, and it is the opinion of Ata', because it was narrated from Mu'awiyah that he said: "I shortened the hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a mishqas (5) at al-Marwah." Agreed upon (6). Malik and al-Shafi'i said in one opinion: It is permissible for him...
