Summary
The prohibition on cutting hair and nails once the ten days of Dhul Hijjah begin applies only to a person who intends to perform the qurban sacrifice. Someone who performs the aqiqah on Eid al-Adha or during the days of tashriq is not covered by this prohibition. The hadith of Umm Salamah refers to one who intends to offer the udhiyyah, while the aqiqah is not called udhiyyah but only aqiqah or nasikah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
seseorang yang melaksanakan akikah pada hari raya korban atau hari-hari tasyriq, maka mereka tidak termasuk di dalam larangan memotong kuku dan rambut sebagaimana golongan yang melakukan sembelihan korban.
