1523. Umm Salamah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sees the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah, and wants to slaughter (a sacrifice), he should not take from his hair nor from his nails." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Sahih]. What is correct (in the chain) is "‘Amr bin Muslim," Muḥammad bin ‘Amr bin ‘Alqamah and others narrated from him. This Hadīth has been reported from Sa‘eed bin Al-Musayyab, from Umm Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ, through routes other than this and it is similar in meaning. This is the saying of some of the people of knowledge, and it is the view of Sa‘eed bin Al-Musayyab, and Ahmad and Ishāq went with this Hadīth.
Some of the people of knowledge permitted that, they said that there is no harm if he takes from his hair and his nails. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi‘ī, and he used the Hadīth of ‘Aishah as proof; that the Prophet ﷺ would dispatch from Al-Madinah with the Hadī, and he would not avoid anything that the Muḥrim would avoid.
