It is permissible to delegate the sacrifice () and transport it to another country. It is also recommended for the one offering the sacrifice not to shave or cut their hair until their sacrifice has been slaughtered, based on the of Umm Salamah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever has a sacrifice to offer, then when the crescent moon of Dhul-Hijjah appears, let him not take anything from his hair or his nails until he has offered his sacrifice."
