Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I intended to perform Hajj as ifrad, and I am a resident of Jeddah. I am going to offer a sacrifice; in fact, I have appointed someone to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice on my behalf and on behalf of my family members who are in Jeddah. However, I trimmed my nails and shaved, and this was before entering the state of ihram. Is there anything required of me? Please note that I am the head of a family and I am going to offer a sacrifice. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
May Allah grant you success in seeking forgiveness and repentance. Praise be to Allah that you mentioned the back, and yet you trimmed your nails. This is not permissible. May Allah grant you success in repentance and seeking forgiveness, and do not expose yourself to this until you are correct. Yes. Trimming the hair during 'Umrah, if you have completed the tawaf and sa'y, this is necessary. Likewise, in Hajj, after the stoning of the pillars, this is a ritual act that is necessary, and it is not prevented by the fact that you are offering a sacrifice. However, do not take anything from your beard, your back, your armpits, or your hands until the day of 'Id al-Adha, even if you are a pilgrim. Yes.
