What are the consequences of lying and engaging in tahallul (desecration/exiting the state of ihram) during Hajj after a friend has performed the Rami (stoning) on behalf of the questioner and his wife?

The time for Tawaf Al-Ifadah begins from the middle of the night of the Day of Sacrifice according to the Hanbalis and Shafi'is, and from the true dawn according to the Malikis and Hanafis. Representation in stoning is not permissible except for the incapacitated. For someone performing Hajj and Umrah concurrently (Qarin), one Sa'i is sufficient if they performed Sa'i with the Tawaf Al-Qudum. Delaying shaving until after stoning is better, but performing it before does not necessitate a penalty (dam). The Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf Al-Wada') occurs after the completion of Hajj rites and before leaving Mecca; leaving it or performing it early necessitates a penalty. One must repent to Allah from lying. Abandoning the stoning on the Day of Sacrifice and performing it on the second day necessitates a penalty (dam) according to the Malikis and Hanafis. It is more cautious to adopt their view, which is a sheep to be slaughtered in the Haram and distributed among the poor.
