Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the ruling the same for leaving one of the Sunnahs of fitrah? For example, is the ruling for one who leaves shaving the pubic hair the same as the ruling for one who does not trim his moustache, or for one who shaves his beard?
Answer:
No. He missed a Sunnah. If one leaves a Sunnah, he misses its reward. He misses its reward, and no other consequence attaches to him. So, if he leaves, for example, shaving the pubic hair, he is accountable for that matter, and he is advised to take care of it. Likewise, cutting the nails, likewise clipping the nails. Each one is independent; an independent Sunnah. Yes.
