Sunan an-Nasai 4363 (Book 43, Hadith 3) #18896
Refraining from Hair & Nail Cutting During Sacrifice

SUMMARY: It is advised to refrain from cutting hair and nails, avoiding women and perfume when offering a sacrifice during the month of Dhul-Hijjah.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice when dhul-Hijjah begins, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails". I (the narrator) mentioned that to 'Ikrimah, and he said: "Should he not also keep away from women and perfume?"
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الأَحْلاَفِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ، فَدَخَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ فَلاَ يَأْخُذْ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلاَ أَظْفَارِهِ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعِكْرِمَةَ فَقَالَ أَلاَ يَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ وَالطِّيبَ
