IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE – 66: LARANGAN MEMOTONG KUKU DAN BULU BAGI MEREKA YANG BERKORBAN DI LUAR NEGARA YANG BERBEZA TARIKH HARI RAYA AIDILADHA
When someone performs the sacrifice in a country whose Eid al-Adha falls on a different date from Malaysia, does the ban on cutting nails and hair follow the Malaysian date or the country of sacrifice, and when does it end?
Short answer
The restriction on cutting nails and hair for a person intending to perform the sacrifice begins on 1 Zulhijjah according to Malaysian time, because the date of Zulhijjah is determined by the place where the person resides.

Summary
The restriction on cutting nails and hair for a person intending to perform the sacrifice begins on 1 Zulhijjah according to Malaysian time, because the date of Zulhijjah is determined by the place where the person resides. The restriction ends once the sacrificial animal has been slaughtered, based on the hadith stating until the sacrifice is done. This also applies to those sacrificing abroad where Eid al-Adha falls on a different date. According to Imam al-Nawawi in the Shafi'i school, cutting them is disliked (makruh tanzih).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, larangan memotong kuku dan rambut bagi mereka yang melaksanakan ibadah korban bermula pada 1 Zulhijah waktu Malaysia, kerana penentuan tarikh Zulhijah mengikut negeri yang ia berada.
