It is prescribed for one who intends to offer a sacrifice (udhiyah) not to take anything from their hair or nails after the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah. If they do so forgetfully, there is no blame on them, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake," and its response: "I have done so." However, if they do so intentionally, they must repent and seek forgiveness, but no expiation is binding on them, because doing so does not necessitate a ransom (fidyah) by consensus, whether done intentionally or forgetfully.
