The Ruling on a Woman Combing Her Hair When Entering the Last Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah

The questioner:
Umm Abdullah says that I combed my hair upon entering the ten days out of forgetfulness and ignorance on my part, even though I was fasting on those ten days,

The Shaykh:
What?

The questioner:
She combed her hair, Honorable Shaykh. She says that she is asking about a woman combing her hair upon entering the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah,

The Shaykh:
Does she want to offer a sacrifice?

The questioner:
Yes, yes, yes, she wants to offer a sacrifice.

The Shaykh:
She wants to offer a sacrifice.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
If she wants to offer a sacrifice, then when she enters the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, she must not take any of her hair or nails until she slaughters her 'Id sacrifice, as in the hadith. But if she does not want to offer a sacrifice, there is no harm; the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah and other days are the same. Yes.
