Does Shaving During the ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah Validate Udhiyyah?
As-salamu `alaykum.
Many people in Saudi Arabia and outside Saudi Arabia fear that their sacrifice will not be accepted because they cut their hair and trimmed their nails on last Monday, not knowing it is the first day of Dhul-Hijjah because of the late announcement by Saudi officials.
Is the sacrifice of a person who cut his hair and trimmed his nails after the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah valid under such circumstances?
Jazakum Allahu khayran.
