"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?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4363)
«مَنْ أَرَادَ الْثَّجَّ فَدَخَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ فَلَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا أَظْفَارِهِ» فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعِكْرِمَةَ فَقَالَ أَلَا يَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ وَالطِّيبَ
