Is it correct to say that throwing nail clippings in the house brings poverty?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the validity of the claim that throwing nail clippings in the house brings poverty to its inhabitants?

Answer:
There is no basis for this claim. Trimming the nails is part of the Sunnah of fitrah (the innate natural disposition). One should not let the nails grow long, but rather trim them and keep them maintained; this is one of the characteristics of fitrah. As for where one places the trimmed nails, the matter is broad in this regard, and their remaining in the house has no effect, as is claimed.
