What are the Sunnahs of fitrah?

Question:
We are taking a call from Naif in al-Taif. Please, Naif, let us hear from you on the phone, if you please. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah’s mercy. Peace be upon you. Shaykh Abd al-Karim al-Mujrim, to your esteemed guest, Your Excellency Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan. I say, in truth, I have two interjections or two questions. The first question is about the Sunnahs of fitrah. Your Excellency, what is the ruling on the Sunnahs of fitrah, and what is their time? What is the ruling on the Sunnahs of fitrah, and what is their time? The second question, well, let the Shaykh answer it in a moment.

Answer:
The Sunnahs of fitrah, my brother, are circumcision, growing the beard, and cutting the nails. Cutting the nails, growing the beard, trimming the mustache, and plucking the armpit and pubic hair. That is, removing the armpit hair and the pubic hair. One should not delay this for a long period. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set the limit for that at forty days. Do not exceed this. The nails grow long, the mustache grows long, the armpit hair grows long, and so on. So, maintain the Sunnahs of fitrah. Yes.
