Trimming the nails after wudu' does not affect it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is one that reached the program from Yemen, sent by the listener 'Abd al-Rahim 'Abdullah. Brother 'Abd al-Rahim has a number of questions; in one of them he asks and says: If I trim my nails after performing wudu', does that affect the wudu' or not? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, trimming the nails after wudu' does not affect it, because the nails are considered detached, and there is no harm in that, if Allah wills. Trimming the nails, as established in the Sunnah, is one of the characteristics of the fitrah (the innate natural disposition), and it is commanded to be done. Yes.
