The questioner : What is the ruling on trimming the nails during Hajj when a person is in the state of ihram?
The Shaykh : The well-known view among the scholars is that trimming the nails while in the state of ihram is not permissible, by analogy to the prohibition of shaving the head for the sake of comfort. Accordingly, based on this view, which is the opinion of the majority of scholars, it is obligatory for him to refrain from trimming the nails of his hands and the nails of his feet.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
