The command to give the meat of the udhiyah in charity is reported in a number of hadiths, as was the permission to eat some and preserve some. At the very least, a third of the udhiyah should be eaten, a third should be given as gifts and a third should be given in charity.

If a man removes anything from his hair, nails or skin during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, his udhiyah is valid and will be accepted in sha Allah.

It is permissible for the family of the one who is offering a sacrifice to cut their hair or nails during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. The prohibition to remove anything from hair or nails applies only to the head of the household, not to the members of his family.
