What is the ruling on trimming the nails for a person in ihram?

The questioner : Trimming the nails while a person is in ihram.

The Shaykh : Do not trim them. We say: trim your nails if you wish before entering ihram, but after that, do not, unless a nail breaks and causes you harm, in which case you cut off only the part that is causing harm. Brother, is it possible for a nail to break and you cut off only the harmful part? Is that possible? Good, that is correct. Listen, there is nothing wrong with that. Why? Because you cut it to remove the harm.
