Ruling on taking hair or nails for one who intends to offer a sacrifice

Question:
The listener (A. A. A) from Riyadh asks: Is it permissible for a pilgrim during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah to cut any hair on the body, whether it is any part of the body or the nails? He is in Riyadh and intends to perform Hajj. We heard your program say: If a person intends to perform a sacrifice, it is permissible for him to cut his hair, but if he intends to perform a sacrifice for himself, it is not permissible?
So I ask you to clarify this regarding the pilgrim, and may Allah guide you.

Answer:
Whoever intends to offer a sacrifice must not take anything, whether he is a pilgrim or not. Whoever intends to offer a sacrifice must not take anything from his hair or his nails, not from his head, nor from the rest of his body, not from his armpits, nor from his private parts, nor from his mustache, nor from his head, until he offers the sacrifice after the entry of the month of Dhul Hijjah. After the entry of the month of Dhul Hijjah, which the common people call the month of sacrifice, if the month enters with its crescent moon, it becomes forbidden for the one who intends to offer a sacrifice, whether male or female, to take anything from the hair or the nail or the skin, from the entire body, whether it is the hair of the head, or the mustache, or a hair from the private parts, or from the armpits, or from the rest of the body. This applies to males and females if they intend to offer the lawful sacrifice for themselves and their families, for their father, for their mother. With this sacrifice, one does not take anything until he offers it.
As for if he is an agent, an agent for the sacrifices, there is no blame on him. The agent is not the one offering the sacrifice. If he has the means and he is an agent who offers the sacrifice, meaning he slaughters them, there is nothing wrong with him taking from his hair and his nails, because he is not the one offering the sacrifice; the one offering the sacrifice is the owner of the means.
As for if he is offering a sacrifice from his own wealth for himself, or for his parents, or for himself and all his family, and the latter is better if it is for himself and his family, not restricting it to the parents alone, but adding himself with them, for so-and-so and his parents, for so-and-so and his family, for so-and-so and his wife so-and-so, for so-and-so and his children, making them all together, this is the Sunnah. Then he does not take anything from his hair or his nails until he offers the sacrifice after the entry of the month, nor from his skin, if he does not cut skin from his leg, nor from his hand, nor from any place, because it is skin. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is what is prohibited only.
As for his using perfume, his coming to his wife, there is nothing wrong with it. His taking a bath, doing everything that is lawful, there is nothing wrong with it, except this thing, except these three matters: hair, nail, and skin. He does not take anything from them until he offers the sacrifice. Yes.

The presenter: But, Your Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz, is the pilgrim not also required to clean up, take hair, and trim nails?

Answer: If he is not offering a sacrifice, there is nothing wrong with it. If he exits from his state of ihram, he takes whatever he wants. If he does not have a sacrifice other than the hady, the hady is not a sacrifice. But if he is going to offer a sacrifice along with the hady, then he does not take anything after the entry of the month until he offers it. Or if he brought the hady that is upon him for tamattu' or qiran, this hady does not prevent, it is not like the sacrifice, it does not prevent. Yes.
