He who intends to offer a sacrifice must not remove anything from his hair or nails. As for marital intimacy with one's wife, it is not forbidden. Adultery, however, is a heinous major sin, and its sinfulness becomes more grievous if committed during the sacred months. However, adultery has no effect on the validity or acceptance of the sacrifice. If the adulterer repents, his repentance nullifies what came before it, and his sacrifice is accepted.
