The sacrificer is not required to refrain from conjugal relations with his wife unless there is a valid impediment. As for cutting nails and shaving hair, it is forbidden either by way of prohibition (tahrim) or detestation (karahah). However, doing so does not invalidate the sacrifice according to both opinions.
