The Timeframe for Trimming the Fingernails, Trimming the Mustache, and Shaving the Pubic Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a person who exceeds forty days in the number of five from the hair of the common people have his prayer invalidated?

Answer:
In the authentic hadith, the time limit for trimming the fingernails, shaving the pubic hair, and trimming the mustache was set at forty days. Whoever exceeds the forty days is in contradiction to the hadith and thus commits a sin, because his appearance becomes distorted: his mustache grows long, his fingernails grow long, and his pubic hair grows long, so that he comes to resemble predatory animals and contradicts the Sunnah. Yes.
