Some scholars may have viewed it as obligatory. However\, most see it as a voluntary (sunnah/mustahab) act. For those who wish to do Qurbani\, it is mustahab (or voluntary sunnah) to avoid cutting hair and nails until the Qurbani is slaughtered. However\, if you cut any hair or nails\, your Qurbani is accepted and does not affect the validity. \n\n\n\nDeeds of the Day of Arafah \n\n\n\nThe Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Fasting the day of Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim). So\, don’t miss the reward of fasting it\, and join the community iftars at Masjid Annoor and the Qur’an Center on that day. \n\n\n\nAlso\, increase your dhikr\, recitation of the Qur’an\, good deeds\, and duas before the morning of Eid. Don’t forget to include your family\, friends\, relatives\, neighbors\, MCC community\, and the wider Ummah in your duas\, and make a special dua for our brothers in Gaza/Palestine on this special day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle\, so significant days shift forward 11 days each year. The sighting of the moon determines the start and end of Ramadan and Eid. \nAccording to the regional moonsighting\, Eid Al Adha ’24 will be celebrated on Friday\, June 6. MCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months. Please see this video to understand this practice. MCC honors the variation at the beginning of each Islamic month based on the new moon being sighted on different days in different places\, and some communities do moon calculations. All are valid. Please observe with your community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMCC follows the traditional moon-sighting method\, which relies on regional\, verifiable naked-eye sightings of the new crescent moon to determine the start of all Hijri months.
