<b>Hajj and Udhiyah (sacrifices):</b>
It is forbidden to delay Hajj with no reason or excuse; to engage in obscenity or arguments during Hajj.
It is forbidden for a person in Ihraam to wear a shirt, turban, trousers, cloak or socks; for a woman in Ihraam to wear a face-veil or gloves; to uproot, cut down or strike the trees of the Haram.
It is forbidden to carry weapons in the Haram; to hunt or disturb the animals of the Haram; to pick up lost property, unless to find the owner; to put perfume on one who has died in Ihraam, or to cover his face or to embalm the body – he should be buried in his Ihraam garments, for he will be resurrected reciting the Talbiyah.
It is forbidden to leave Hajj before completing Tawaaf al-Wadaa’ (final circumambulation of the Ka’bah), but women who are menstruating or bleeding after childbirth are excused.
It is forbidden to slaughter one’s sacrificial animal before the Eid prayer; to sacrifice an imperfect animal; to give the butcher a fee for slaughtering; for the one who intends to offer a sacrifice to remove anything from his hair, nails or skin once the first ten days of Dhoo’l-Hijjah have started, until after he has offered his sacrifice.
