Cutting Hair and Nails for One Who Intends the Udhiyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking. She says: I am a woman who intended the udhiyah by appointing one of my sons to perform it. The question is: Is it permissible for me to comb my hair and trim my nails, and what is the ruling in this matter?
The Shaykh:
There is no problem.
The questioner:
To comb my hair.
The Shaykh:
My dear.
The questioner:
She says: I am a woman who intended to offer the 'Id sacrifice by appointing one of my sons. Is it permissible for me to comb my hair and trim my nails, and what is the ruling in this matter?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if a person intends to offer a sacrifice for himself, then once the ten days enter, he does not take anything from his hair or his nails until he slaughters his sacrifice, once the ten days have entered. But if he is offering a sacrifice for someone else and he is not offering a sacrifice for himself, but only for someone else—whether she wants to offer a sacrifice for her parents or for someone else, or she wants to slaughter a bequest that someone else bequeathed—then she is not required to refrain from taking hair and nails, because the sacrifice for someone else is not her act.
As for the case where the udhiyah is for her, if the ten days enter, she must not cut anything from her hair, skin, or nails until the udhiyah is slaughtered, whether she slaughters it herself or appoints someone to slaughter it. Yes.

May Allah reward you
