Mustahib kaam kay liye Gunah ki Ijazat nahin

Performers of Sacrifice should not Trim their Hair and Nails
Commenting on the Hadis which says that those performing sacrifice should not touch their hair and skin at all during the first ten days of Zul-Hajjah, Mufassir-e-Shahir, Hakim-ul-Ummat Hadrat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Rehmatullah Alaihi says, ‘The rich intending to perform obligatory sacrifice as well as the poor performing voluntary sacrifice should neither cut their nails, hair and dead skin nor get them cut from the appearance of the crescent of Zul-Hajja-tul-Haram to the time of performing sacrifice so that there is some similarity between these performers of sacrifice and Hujjaj who cannot cut these things in the state of Ihram in order that sacrifice serves as a Fidyah (expiation) for every hair and nail. (However) This commandment is preferential, not essential. Therefore, it is better (not obligatory) for the performer of sacrifice not to get his hair, nails etc. cut. It also shows that imitating the righteous is also righteous. (Mira-tul-Manaji., V2, P370, Zia-ul-Qur’an Publications Lahore)
The Sacrifice by the Poor
Commenting on the part of the Hadis (which says the performer of sacrifice should not trim his hair and nail) Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Rehmatullah Alaihi says, ‘Even those unable to perform sacrifice should not get their hair, nail etc. cut during the first ten days of Zul-Hajjah, instead, they should get hair etc. cut on the Day of Eid after offering Eid Salah. They will also attain the Sawab (of performing sacrifice).
The removing of unwanted hair, nails etc. should not be left for the fortieth day but should be removed before that. Forty days is the maximum time allowed to trim nails and leave pubic and under-arm hair on the body. If it is already the fortieth day and the unwanted hair has not been removed and not trim nails , then it is Wajib on him/ her (compulsory) to remove the hair and trim nails immediately. Iit is prohibited and Makrooh-e-Tehreemi to exceed 40 days. So Trim Nails & remove unwanted hair before the Chand Raat of Zul-Hijja.
