Taking from the hair and nails in the last ten days for one who intends Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: If I intend to perform Hajj as ifrad, or as tamattu', is it permissible for me to take from my hair or my nails once I enter the last ten days?
The Shaykh:
If you are offering a sacrifice, do not take from them. But if it is merely the hady, you may take from them. If you are not offering a sacrifice, you may take from your hair and nails after coming out of the state of ihram from 'Umrah. If you come out of the state of ihram from 'Umrah in the last ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, you may take from your nails and your hair, apply perfume, and send your wife home; you are in a state of freedom. But if you intend to offer a sacrifice, and you have performed 'Umrah while intending to offer the sacrifice on the days of 'Id, do not touch your hair. We have not permitted anything other than shaving or shortening the hair for 'Umrah. Do not touch your hair, your beard, or your mustache while you are waiting for the sacrifice in the last ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. And if you have performed both 'Umrah and Hajj, you only shave or shorten the hair for 'Umrah. And if you are not offering a sacrifice, the sacrifice does not prevent shaving or shortening the hair. Likewise, when you throw the pebbles, you slaughter and shave. And if you intend to offer a sacrifice, you shave for your Hajj, and you come out of the state of ihram from your Hajj. And if you offer the sacrifice after throwing the pebbles, that is better. Yes. With this, the answer to the questions ends. We ask Allah to grant success to everyone, to accept from everyone, and to rectify the intention of everyone. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the Near. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence.
