If a person cuts his hair after the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah has begun, and he intends to offer a sacrifice, is his sacrifice valid and will it be accepted?.


Praise be to Allaah.
 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: 

Yes, his sacrifice will be accepted but he
will be a sinner. With regard to a widespread belief among the common people that if a man removes anything from his hair, nails or skin during
the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, his sacrifice is not valid, this is not correct, because there is no connection between the validity of his
sacrifice and his removing anything from these three things.

And Allaah knows best.
