The questioner:
Muhammad from al-Hafar al-Batin, please, Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The questioner:
My question, Shaykh, is about the barber. No. The story of the sacrifice: is it before sunset? It has to be before the setting of the sun. If one wants to sacrifice and wants to shave and cut his nails, is it before sunset? I cut and shave before the sun sets, for example, today.
The Shaykh:
If he intends to... Look, my brother, if he intends to sacrifice, he does not take from his hair or his nails for ten days in the month of Dhul-Hijjah. When the ten days begin, he holds back until he slaughters his sacrifice. Yes.
The questioner:
Okay, Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. For example, tonight, it is possible that tonight is the first of the month. If the month has arrived, can I shave now?
The Shaykh:
No, he heard that tonight is from Dhul-Hijjah, that the crescent was sighted, yes.
The questioner:
Meaning, it is done after the sun sets, it is done.
The Shaykh:
The beginning of the night, my brother. When the night begins, it is done. Yes.
