Shaving the head before confirming the slaughter of the sacrificial animal for the pilgrim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: I entrusted one of the charitable organizations with the slaughter of a sacrificial animal, and I intended to perform Hajj. Is it permissible for me to shave my head and take some of my skin before confirming that the sacrificial animal has been slaughtered, or is shaving in this case another ritual? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Hajj is a time of purity; what is not connected to the sacrificial animal is [permissible]. The one performing 'Umrah, if he circumambulates for an hour, may shorten his hair or shave it if he is far from the time of Hajj. And he should shorten his hair until he is present for Hajj. And Hajj is the same: if he sees what he should shave, even if it is only [related to] the sacrificial animal, what is not connected to the sacrificial animal [is permissible]. But he does not take anything from his armpits, or from his beard, or from his private parts, for example, or from his fingernails, until he slaughters the sacrifice. And so, at the miqat, he does not take anything until he slaughters the sacrifice after the entry of the month, meaning. Yes.
