If one wants to sacrifice on behalf of himself and his family, should they all refrain from cutting their hair?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If one wants to sacrifice, is refraining from cutting hair and nails specific to him, or to him and his family?
The Shaykh:
No, it is only the one who intends to slaughter the udhiyah who refrains. As for the one on whose behalf the sacrifice is made, no, that is not required of him.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The jurists say: "The one who wants to sacrifice, or the one on whose behalf a sacrifice is made." However, the phrase "or the one on whose behalf a sacrifice is made" has no evidence for it, because the hadith says: "The one who wants to sacrifice."
