Q: I have a question regarding the first ten days of Zul Hijjah.
I'm going to perform qurbaani inshallah and I heard that I can't cut my hair and nails for 10 days before qurbaani. I have an appointment to give blood for testing and I was wondering if this is permissible or is it haram like cutting hair and nails in the first 10 days of Zul Hijjah ?
Q: A person refrains from cutting his nails/hair due to performing qurbani.
He follows Saudi for Eid (20th of July) whilst his wakeel doing the qurbani for him does so on Eid day in India (21st of July).
Does he therefore need to spend his Eid with long nails etc until the wakeel has slaughtered his animal the next day? If so, he also has no way of finding out what time of the day on the 21st the animal will be slaughtered, so how does he know what time of the day to cut the nails/hair?
Q: I am doing qurbani this year. Please advise whose name I must slaughter on.
Q: My husband is a student of deen and his parents help us for our living. I do teach and get a monthly salary alhmdulillah. From it I give 2/3 and keep 1/3 for me.
Now for qurbaani I wanted to do it here in South Africa but my husband said "the best in reward" is that I do in another country cheaper and give the extra with the 2/3. I do not mind giving.
My question is as follow: Will I get more thawaab in doing qurbaani here in South Africa or in doing somewhere else cheaper and giving the extra of my qurbaani budget to help with the expenses?
Q: I would like to sacrifice a sheep for qurbani this year. Is it necessary for me to be present at the sacrifice and to touch the animal prior to sacrifice? Is it sufficient for me to make the intention and ask my father to complete the qurbani on my behalf?
Q: If someone is not doing Qurbaani, then is it permissible for that person to cut his hairs and nails in the first 10 days of Zul Hijjah?
Q: Please explain to me the proper method of slaughtering the Qurbaani animal. The Sunnah method and what dua should be recited. Is it correct for a woman to slaughter her sheep if there are only mahrams present? What did Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم do on Eid-ul-adha?
Q: Mufti Saheb, could you explain the Sunnats and Aadaab of Qurbaani?
Q: Everyone says you cannot wax in the 10 days of qurbaani. Is it possible to wax in the last 3 days before eid?
Q: Can anyone not a sahib-e-nisab have a haircut before eid ul adha?
