Hadith: Whoever has a sacrifice to slaughter, once the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah is declared, he should not take anything from his hair or his nails until he sacrifices
عَن أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أُمِّ المُؤْمِنينَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رضي الله عنها قَالت: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ ذِبْحٌ يَذْبَحُهُ فَإِذَا أُهِلَّ هِلَالُ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، فَلَا يَأْخُذَنَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ، وَلَا مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يُضَحِّيَ».
[صحيح] - [رواه مسلم] - [صحيح مسلم: 1977]

’Umm Salamah, Mother of the Believers and wife of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Whoever has a sacrifice to slaughter, once the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah is declared, he should not take anything from his hair or his nails until he sacrifices."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 1977]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded those who intend to offer a sacrifice not to cut hair from their head, armpits, or mustache, nor to cut any of their fingernails or toenails until they have offered their sacrifice, once the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah has appeared.
Benefits from the Hadith
- Whoever intends to offer a sacrifice after the beginning of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah should begin the abstention mentioned from the moment he makes the intention until he offers his sacrifice.
- If one does not offer the sacrifice on the first day, he should continue to abstain until he offers the sacrifice on any of the Days of Tashrīq.
