The questioner : May Allah grant you pleasure in His obedience.
The Shaykh : And may He grant you the same.
The questioner : If a wife wants to perform the sacrifice, is it permissible for her to appoint her husband to perform it on her behalf while she continues to take from her hair and cut her nails?
The Shaykh : This is not permissible. That is to say, if a person appoints someone to slaughter the sacrifice on his behalf, the ruling pertains to the owner of the sacrifice.
The questioner : So it is not permissible for her?
The Shaykh : If the woman appoints her husband and says, "So-and-so, this is, for example, one hundred riyals, or more or less, so perform the sacrifice on my behalf," then it is forbidden for her to take anything from her hair, her nails, or her skin.
The questioner : But what if the husband is the one who bought the sacrifice?
The Shaykh : Even if he bought it for her.
The questioner : He bought it for her, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : It is not permissible?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : And may He grant you the same.
