The Sunnahs of Fitrah and Their Ruling

Question:
What are the sunnahs of fitrah? Are they a recommended practice or obligatory?

Answer:
It is a major matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned it in a hadith of Aisha, saying: “It consists of ten things: trimming the beard, cutting the mustache, cutting the nails, plucking the armpit hair, shaving the pubic hair, and washing the feet,” up to what he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned. The believer engages in these and strives to do so. Among them is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “Five things are of the fitrah (innate natural disposition): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the mustache, cutting the nails, and plucking the armpit hair.” These are a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice), except for shaving the beard, which is haram (forbidden). Leaving the beard is wajib (obligatory), and shaving it is muharram (forbidden). And circumcision…

Question:
There is scholarly disagreement on this,

Answer:
Most of us hold that it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), while some scholars consider it obligatory for both men and women, and some consider it obligatory for men specifically, making it a recommended practice for women. Please flip the tape.
There is scholarly disagreement regarding circumcision; most of us hold that it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), while some scholars consider it obligatory for both men and women, and some consider it obligatory for men specifically, making it a recommended practice for women. Trimming the mustache is a recommended practice. Cutting the nails, removing the armpit hair, and shaving the pubic hair are all recommended practices. It is not permissible to leave these acts for more than forty days; rather, when the forty days approach, one should cut the nails, trim the mustache, remove the armpit hair, and shave the pubic hair so that they do not grow long. Yes.
