The ruling on a wife who appoints her husband to perform the sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a wife wants to perform the sacrifice, is it permissible for her to appoint her husband to slaughter the sacrificial animal while she is combing her hair and trimming her nails? And if a wound is found in the sacrificial animal after it has been purchased, is it acceptable?
This is not permissible. If a person appoints someone to slaughter the sacrificial animal on his behalf, the ruling is tied to the owner of the sacrificial animal.If the woman appoints her husband, she says: "So-and-so, here are one hundred riyals, or more or less, sacrifice on my behalf." It is forbidden for her to take anything from her hair, nails, or skin, even if the husband is the one who purchased the sacrificial animal. It is not permissible for her to take anything from these.
And if he purchased the sacrificial animal with the intention that it be a sacrifice, and then he found a wound in it, he said: "I made this a sacrifice," or did he purchase it with the intention of it being a sacrifice? In that case, he has the choice.If a defect is found in it or it is wounded, we tell him: Leave it and buy something sound.
And the beard is easier; because the head is intermingled, so if the teeth of the comb come upon it, they cut it. Although if a woman needs to untangle her hair for a necessity, such as washing from menstruation or something similar, there is no harm, but it should be done gently, bit by bit. No one’s beard scatters when combed, but if we assume it does, the ruling is the same.
