Ummi assigned us all an assignment to do for Zhul Hijjah. S has to find the ayah in the Quran about Hajj; I have to find the virtue of Zhul Hijjah, and H has to do something that I forgot. Our works are all due tomorrow, which is Thursday. So my works is here, right in my amazing blog. So there.
The Virtues of Zhul Hijjah
FASTING: The Prophet sallAllahu 'allayhi wa sallam said, "whoever fasts the day of Arafat will have his sins expiated for two years (the past year and the coming year)."
Do not cut hair or nails during the ten days if you are the one slaughtering the animal. This is for men of course.
You can recite the takbir during all the ten days, at all times, day or night until the Eid prayer.
There. Done.

The teacher just told us today that there are two opinions about the not cutting hair and clipping nails. Some day only the slaughtering person and some say all the family. So it's safer for us all not to do it.
