Is my Hajj valid even though I did not shave my head until the eleventh day of Dhu al-Hijjah out of negligence? And do I owe an expiation?

The majority of scholars hold that shaving (or cutting) the hair is a ritual act in Hajj and . There is no objection to delaying it until the last of the days of sacrifice, by agreement among the jurists. What extends beyond that is a point of contention: some scholars say there is no consequence, while others say it necessitates a blood sacrifice (dam). Delaying the shaving does not entail anything.
