Hadith 34668
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "O Allah, have mercy on those who shave their hair." They said,
"And those who shorten (their hair), Messenger of Allah." He said,
"O Allah, have mercy on those who shave." They said, "And those who
shorten, Messenger of Allah." He said, "And those who shorten."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 196

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father used to kill his sacrificial animals while they were standing.
Malik said, "No-one is permitted to shave his head until he
has killed his sacrificial animal, and no-one must sacrifice before
dawn on the day of sacrifice. The things that should be done on the
day of sacrifice are slaughtering, donning clothes, grooming the body
generally (at-tafath) and shaving the head, and none of this may be
done before the day of sacrifice." Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 195

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
that his father used to go into Makka by night when he was doing umra
and do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa and delay the
shaving until the morning, but he would not go back to the House and
do tawaf again until he had shaved his head.
Abd ar-Rahman
added, "Sometimes he would enter the mosque and do the witr prayer
there without actually going near the House."
Malik said,
"At-tafath is shaving the head, putting on normal clothes and things
of that nature."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a
man who forgot to shave (his head) at Mina during the hajj could shave
in Makka, and he said, "That is permissible, but I prefer the shaving
to be done at Mina."
Malik said, "What we are all agreed upon
here (in Madina) is that no-one should shave his head or cut his hair
until he has killed his sacrificial animal, if he has one, and things
that are haram for him do not become halal for him until he leaves
ihram at Mina on the day of sacrifice. This is because Allah, the
Blessed and Exalted, says, 'Do not shave yourheads until the
sacrificial animal has reached its destination. ' " Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 197
