The ruling for removing the Hair for whoever intends to perform an Adhha sacrifice

Question :

What is the ruling on the person removing some of his hair during the 10 days of Thul-Hijjah while he has intended to perform the Adhha sacrifice, regardless of whether it was intentional or forgetfully? If the woman becomes pure from her menses during the 10 days of Thul- Hijjah and she intended to perform the Adhha sacrifice, can she comb her hair or not? We hope from your honor a beneficial answer. May Allâh reward you, on behalf of the Muslims and us, with the best of rewards.

Answer:

Whoever wants to perform the Adhha sacrifice, he may not remove any of his hair or his nails or his skin once the 10 days of Thul-Hijjah have began until he performs his Adhha sacrifice. This is because the Prophet prohibited that in the authentic Hadith that was reported by Imam Muslim in his Sahih from Umm Salamah. If the menstruating woman and the woman with postnatal bleeding become pure during the 10 days of Thul-Hijjah and they want to perform the Adhha sacrifice, they may not remove any of their hair or their nails or anything from their skin. This applies to them just like others besides them among the Muslims who decide to perform the Adhha sacrifice. However, there is no sin on them if they undo their hair or comb it at the time of bathing, but they should not intentionally cut anything from their hair. In reference to what falls from the hair while undoing or combing it - unintentionally there is no sin on them for that. Likewise, whoever removes any of his hair or nails or anything from his skin during the 10 days forgetfully or ignorantly while he is intending to perform the Adhha sacrifice, there is no sin on him. This is because Allâh does not hold his servants accountable for unintentional errors or forgetfulness regarding this matter and similar matters. Whoever does that intentionally, he must repent to Allâh and there is nothing due on him. In reference to the family of the person who is performing the Adhha sacrifice, there is no sin on them and they are not prohibited from removing their hair and nails according to the most correct view among the opinions of the scholars. The ruling regarding this is specifically related to the person who performs the Adhha sacrifice, particularly the one who buys the Adhha animal from his wealth. Likewise, there is nothing due on those who are appointed to perform the sacrifice for others, because they are not considered as performing the Adhha sacrifice for themselves. The people performing the Adhha sacrifice are only those who appointed them to do the slaughter for them. May Allâh help everyone to gain beneficial knowledge and act according to it.
