Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What should a man and a woman do if they intend to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice during the days of Dhu al-Hijjah? Should they refrain from cutting their hair and nails?
Answer:
Yes, this is obligatory. One who intends to offer the 'Id sacrifice must not take anything from his hair or his nails, if he is sacrificing on behalf of himself or on behalf of his parents and himself. However, if he is an agent, no, if he is an agent for endowments and sacrifices, he owes nothing. But if he is sacrificing on behalf of himself from his own wealth, sacrificing on behalf of his father or his mother or on behalf of himself or on behalf of himself and his household, he must refrain from his hair and his nails, once the month, the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, has entered, until he sacrifices; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):, thus he (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
