Abstract

This work probes into the alleged prohibition of cutting hair and nails during the first ten days of Dhil Ḥijjah. It is said to be observed by those intending to sacrifice animals on ʻEid ʻl-Adḥā. The issue has been controversial right from the early centuries of Islam and is still far from settled. This article sheds light on the basic source of this ruling. It then discusses various views of jurists and Ḥadīth scholars, followed by elucidating the reasons for differences among them. In doing so, it provides an overview of the origin and evolution of the issue over the last fourteen hundred years. After a careful analysis, the work concludes that the most convincing view is that of the majority of scholars, viz. no such prohibition can be established based on the sayings or practice of the Prophet (peace be on him). What is generally permissible for a believer, therefore, should also remain permissible for them during these specific days.
