Who Withholds Trimming Hair and Nails When Offering the Sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When offering the sacrifice, who is the one who refrains from shaving, cutting hair, and taking something from his hair? Is it the one who offers the sacrifice or the children?

Answer:
The one who offers the sacrifice. As for the one on whose behalf the sacrifice is offered, there is no report that he should not take anything from his hair. Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice, such is the wording of the hadith:
wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove any of his hair or nails until he has offered the sacrifice.أراد أن يضحي فلا يأخذ شيئا من شعره ولا من أظفاره حتى يضحي
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4361Sahih (Darussalam)
. As for the one on whose behalf the sacrifice is offered, he has no part in this. Yes.
