Qurbani Question; Question: If someone has given Qurbani in their name to Pakistan or Saudi are they now not allowed to cut their nails , head hair……
Or is this just for the person on hajj or is this for just the person actually doing the slaughter?
Answer: This is for everyone. It is recommended and rewarding if you don’t cut hair or nails or remove any hair from the body until the sacrifice has been done. However if an individual does cut/remove hair or cut nails then it is not a sin.
A very big problem overall because if the conditions of qurbani are not met, your wajib is not fulfilled and it is the responsibility of the individual to ensure his or her qurbani is done correctly like making sure your Salah is read properly, or your hajj done properly or your zakat paid properly or any other wajibat of deen.
The trouble is that firstly you probably won’t get a response because many of these organisation don’t fulfil the requirements of qurbani. They should have a record of all the people who have instructed qurbani so they can include this identity in their niyya at time of slaughter, those organisations that don’t do this or don’t even record the relevant details will therefore not be able to give you that information of which day your particular sacrifice will be done. Secondly if you do get response, how legitimate and reliable will that response be in light of the lack of information they have in recording who’s qurbani is being done when!
