In contrast, the Shafi'i school considers udhhiya to be sunnah (recommended), regardless of the person's wealth.\\n\\nIt is makruh (disliked) for anyone intending to perform udhhiya to cut their nails and hair unless there is a necessity. It is not considered haram (forbidden). If you are uncertain about the exact time of the slaughter, and are unable to find out when it was done, then wait until after maghrib (sunset) on the 13th since that is when the window of udhiya ends.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da0370b76658b4c233134","tag":"Worship: Charity","count":62},{"_id":"668da07d0b76658b4c23389a","tag":"Udhiya","count":13}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:36.915Z"}
