Does Cutting the Nails and Hair Only Apply to the One Who Intends to do al-Udhiyyah? - Hasan as-Somali

Here is an answer to a question (no. 147) that was recently posted on the official Telegram channel of Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala)

The question asked was: My question is does the ruling of not cutting the nails and hair only apply to the one who intends to do Al-Udhiyyah or does it apply to the whole family of the one intending to do to the Al-Udhiyyah?

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave the following answer:
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

A Warning to Those Upon Whom Hajj is Obligatory! - Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid

For those that have the ability to perform their (obligatory) Hajj, they have the time, money and the means to perform it, yet choose to delay it, or not even perform it.  Listen to the words of Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) as he gives a clear warning to the one in this situation and doesn't repay his debt to Allah.

Think Before You Speak! - Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis

How many people do this?  We don't think about what is coming out of our mouths.  Only after we have said what we wanted to say, we realise that we have said and the damage that we have caused.  If this is with regards to the matters in our worldly life, how about some of the statements that come out of our mouth with regards to the matters related to affairs of our religion.

Do not utter speech that you will have to make excuse for tomorrow. Do not be a motor-mouth.  Contemplate and examine what you are about to say just like to examine fruit before you purchase it. 

Listen to Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) as he gives us a beautiful reminder with regards to this matter.
