Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Questions regarding one who wants to perform Hajj and wants to offer the 'Id sacrifice. Salim asks: What is the position of the pilgrim who wants to offer the 'Id sacrifice? Is it prescribed for him to offer the 'Id sacrifice, or is it sufficient for him to offer the hady, with evidence? Another person on the same subject asks: If one wants to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' and has small children who have not performed Hajj with him, is the hady sufficient for him, or is the 'Id sacrifice obligatory? And what is his status regarding taking hair and nails?
The Shaykh : Yes. As for the person who will perform Hajj with his family, there is no need for the 'Id sacrifice on their behalf, because they will offer the hady. The hady in Makkah is better than the 'Id sacrifice. The hady in Makkah for those coming from outside is better than the 'Id sacrifice. As for the one who wants to perform Hajj himself or with some of his family, while some remain in the town, it is prescribed for him to offer the 'Id sacrifice for the family members who remain. He has an 'Id sacrifice there that he does not take with him to Makkah. In that case, the ruling prohibiting taking hair, nails, and skin is established for him. However, if he performs tamattu', he must shorten the hair of his head, and he is permitted to do so, because shortening the hair in that case is a ritual act commanded as one of the obligations of 'Umrah. This is the statement and the detail regarding one who wants to perform Hajj and wants to offer the 'Id sacrifice. The summary is that if one wants to perform Hajj with his family, he has no need for the 'Id sacrifice, being content with what? The hady. And if his family will remain, or some of his family, then he offers the 'Id sacrifice, meaning he instructs them to offer the 'Id sacrifice. In that case, he is offering the 'Id sacrifice for his family in his town, and he is offering the hady for himself and for those with him in Makkah. He avoids taking hair, nails, and skin, except for taking hair in the shortening for 'Umrah, because it is a ritual act. Yes.
