The Abstention of the Household Members Sharing in the Sacrifice from Cutting Hair and Nails

Question:
The questioner says: A family in which each member has a specific income, and they take the sacrifice from their shared funds. Is it obligatory for all of them, including the women, to abstain from cutting hair, trimming nails, and the like?

Answer:
If they are members of one household and share in the sacrifice, they must not cut any hair or nails. If they are like two brothers in one house, or three, or a father and his children who share in the wealth and sacrifice, they must not take any hair or nails once the month of Dhul-Hijjah has entered until they sacrifice. This is because they are the ones sacrificing, and the hadith applies to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the month of Dhul-Hijjah enters, and one of you intends to sacrifice, let him not take anything from his hair or his nails." This means until he sacrifices. However, if they are not the ones sacrificing, but rather they are under the care of their father, and their father is the one who sacrifices with his money, or under the care of their brother, and their brother is the one in charge of the household and the one who sacrifices with his money, then the one who sacrificed is the one who spent the money, the one who put out the funds, and the one who bought the sacrificial animal. He is the one who sacrificed, so he must not cut his hair or anything else. As for the others, they are not the ones sacrificing; rather, they are the ones for whom the sacrifice is made. The correct view is that they are not required to abstain. Although some jurists said that they should abstain from their hair and nails, there is no evidence for that. The one who sacrificed is the one who spent money on the sacrificial animal from his own wealth. As for the agent of the sacrifices, the endowments, or the guardian, he is not the one who sacrificed, and he is not required to abstain from cutting nails or hair. Yes.
