The questioner:
This questioner says: Before I entered the state of ihram for Hajj, I trimmed my nails and cut some of the hair on my head,
The Shaykh:
Before.
The questioner:
Before I entered the state of ihram for Hajj, I trimmed my nails and cut some of the hair on my head, and that was on the fifth day of the month of Hajj. Does this affect me or not? Knowing that I did not bring the sacrificial animal for the Hajj?
The Shaykh:
If you are not offering a sacrifice, then there is nothing on you. But if you have the intention of the sacrifice, you must seek forgiveness from Allah. Do not [seek forgiveness] if you are covering up the sacrifice or [the text is garbled here].
Another questioner:
May Allah guide you and lengthen your life.
The Shaykh:
As for if you have not offered the sacrifice, there is nothing on you. If you believe that cutting the hair from the head is an act of worship, it is not an act of worship. Cutting the hair from the head before the state of ihram is not an act of worship. Nothing comes out from the head before the state of ihram. What comes out is from the armpits, the armpits, the nails, the pubic hair, and the mustache. Yes. As for the head, it is not recommended to cut from it.
The questioner:
That is enough.
The Shaykh:
No, it is cut after the state of ihram, after the tawaf and the prayer, that is the shortening. As for when entering the state of ihram, no, the head is not cut. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
