Ruling on trimming the nails while in the state of ihram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person trims one of his nails while in the state of ihram, does he owe an expiation, whether for the purpose of removing a nuisance or not?
Answer:
One nail is nothing; it is excused, if Allah wills. But three nails or more: feed six poor people, or slaughter a sheep, or fast for three days.
Q: Why did we limit it to three? Because in the words of the scholars it is three and four?
The Shaykh: For the nails, for the mention of the nails.
The student: Plural?
The Shaykh: Plural, yes.
