What are the minor and major dissolutions (of ihram), and what are the consequences of delaying the Ifadah circumambulation until the Farewell Day and performing it with the Farewell circumambulation?

Minor tahallul (partial desacralization) makes everything permissible except women, according to the more preponderant opinion, or everything except women and perfume, according to some. It is achieved by performing two out of three rites: casting the pebbles at Jamrat al-Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice, shaving or shortening the hair, and performing the Tawaf al-Ifadah followed by sa'i for the mutamatti', qarin, and mufrid pilgrims if they did not perform sa'i after Tawaf al-Qudum. As for major tahallul (complete desacralization), it is achieved by performing all three rites.
