The Ruling on Trimming the Nails and Shaving the Hair in the First Ten Days for One Who Intends the Udhiyah or Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From Makkah, the questioner Ali says: In this question, our question to the Shaykh is regarding cutting the nails and shaving the hair from entering the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah or from the beginning of wearing the ihram on the eighth day. Please give us a ruling on this, for I am determined, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj next year.

Answer:
Whoever wants to sacrifice an animal for himself, if he enters the ten days, he does not take anything from his hair or his nails until he slaughters the sacrifice. And if he wants to enter the state of ihram while he intends to sacrifice, he avoids taking hair and nails upon entering ihram until he slaughters his sacrifice. As for if he does not intend to sacrifice, it is not forbidden for him to take hair and nails except after making the intention of ihram. So if he makes the intention of ihram and intends to enter the sanctuary, it is forbidden for him to cut his nails and take hair until he exits his state of ihram. Yes.
