Trimming the nails and cutting the hair before entering the state of ihram for one who offers a sacrifice

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:
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 anything 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, meaning you seek forgiveness from Allah, there is no harm if you are in the state of the sacrifice.

The questioner:
Or may Allah guide you, peace and blessings be upon him.

The Shaykh:
As for if one has practiced the sacrifice, there is nothing in it. Rather, if you believe that cutting the hair from the head is an act of devotion, it is not an act of devotion. Cutting from the head before the state of ihram is not an act of devotion. Nothing comes out from the head, nor from the state of ihram. It comes out from the armpits, the nails, the pubic hair, and the mustache. Yes, as for the head, it is not recommended to cut from it, just like the state of ihram.

The questioner:
Let us advise with good.

The Shaykh:
But it comes out from it after the state of ihram, after the tawaf and the sa'y, by shortening. But at the time of entering the state of ihram, it comes out from the head. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
