Not clipping the hair and nails in the case of Aqeeqah
Question
0QUESTION:-
If one is intending to perform Aqeeqah on Eidul Adha, should one also refrain from cutting nails and hair?
Answer
It is Mustahab for the person intending Qurbani to refrain from clipping the hair and nails from the 1st of Dhul Hijjah, until the Qurbani animal is slaughtered. This ruling is not applicable in the case of Aqeeqah.
