The majority of scholars said that it is not permissible to fast on the Days of Tashriq whether it is an optional fast, making up a missed fast or fasting in fulfillment of a vow. So, the fasts that you observed on the Days of Tashriq to make up for missed Ramadan fasts, are not valid, and you must repeat them.

If the onset of Dhul Hijjah has been proven and a person wants to offer a sacrifice, it is haram for him to remove anything from the hair on his body or to cut his nails or any part of his skin.

It is not permissible for the Muslim to swallow blood, whether it is a little or a lot in Ramadan or at other times, because blood is prohibited unless it is swallowed by mistake or involuntarily.

It is permissible to do ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj and there is no difference of opinion amongst the scholars concerning that.

The scholars agreed that it is disliked to close the eyes in prayer unless there is a reason for doing so, such as fear of seeing something one should not be looking at while praying, such as seeing one’s wife, or a non-mahram woman, naked.

If a man walks in front of the worshipper it does not interrupt his prayer, but it detracts from its reward. Animals passing in front of the praying person do not interrupt the prayer. The Sunnah indicates that the one who is praying should prevent anything or anyone who wants to pass in front of him even if they are not one of those three, neither a dog nor a woman nor a donkey. It is Sunnah for the believer to put something in front of him before he prays, such as a chair or a spear that he sticks in the ground, or a wall or pillar that he faces towards when he is praying so that nothing will pass in front of him that could interrupt his prayer.

It is permissible to offer greetings and congratulations on ` `Eid, and there is no specific greeting. Rather the greetings that people customarily use are permissible so long as no sin is involved.
