With the approaching Eid Al -Adha, questions, especially for those who intended the sacrifice, are increasing about the legal rulings related to cutting hair and trimming nails in the days before the slaughter, which prompted the Egyptian Fatwa House to clarify the official controls related to this matter in an official fatwa.
The last date for cutting hair to the sacrifice 2025
The Egyptian Dar Al -Iftaa explained that it is the desirable Sunnah for those who intended the sacrifice to refrain from cutting his hair or nails starting from the sunset of the last day of the month of Dhu al -Qi’dah, that is, from the first night of Dhu al -Hijjah, and until the sacrifice is slaughtered.
Accordingly, the last time when it is desirable to cut the hair or trim the nails is before the last day of the day of the month of Dhu al -Qi’dah, and after this date it is desirable to constipate until the performance of the hermit.
Constipation from cutting hair and nails is one of the Sunnahs that were mentioned in the Prophet’s Sunnah, where it was proven from the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, that he was holding on to cut his hair and nails during the first ten of Dhu al -Hijjah.
The aim of this refrain is to show the proximity to God and the commitment of the Sunnah of the Prophet, in addition to maximizing the rituals of God in this blessed season, and therefore, a Muslim must take into account this date and cut his hair and nails before sunset, the last day of Dhul Qi’dah, then it is desirable for patience and abstinence until the sacrifice.
The date of seeing Hilal Dhu al -Hijjah
The vision of the crescent of the month of Dhu al -Hijjah is scheduled to be next Wednesday, May 28, 2025, as the vision will take place with sunset on Wednesday, to determine the date of the day of Arafa.
