The questioner : What is the ruling on combing the hair in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah before slaughtering the sacrificial animal for one who is not performing Hajj?
The Shaykh : If the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah enter and a person intends to offer a sacrifice, he is prohibited from taking anything from his hair, nails, or skin. However, if a woman needs to comb her hair during these days and she intends to offer a sacrifice, there is no blame on her for combing her head, but she should do so gently. If some hair falls out unintentionally, she has committed no sin, because she did not comb the hair in order for it to fall out, but rather to groom it, and the falling out occurred unintentionally.
