4370. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Âs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to a man: "I have been instructed to take the Day of Sacrifice as an Tâ which Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, has ordained for this Ummah." The man said: "What do you think if I cannot find anything but a female sheep that has been loaned to me so that I may benefit from its milk – should I sacrifice it?" He said: "No. Rather cut something from your hair and your nails, trim your mustache and shave your pubic hairs, and you will have a complete reward with Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, as if you had offered the sacrifice." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary

We learn from this, that even the one who does not have the ability to offer a sacrifice should, as far as possible, try to follow the rulings of those offering a sacrifice; for instance, he should not get his hair cut, etc., from the moment of the sighting of the crescent. And when those offering sacrifices go for their hair cut, he should also have his hair cut, along with them. Thereupon, he would also get the recompense of the sacrifice.
