Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: "Trimming the nails"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second is trimming the nails. There is no explicit text, neither Qur'anic nor Prophetic, regarding trimming the nails. However, they analogized it to shaving the hair. If Dawud disputes the inclusion of the remaining hair on the body with the hair on the head, then here it is all the more so. For this reason, he mentioned in *al-Furu'* that it is possible that it is not among the prohibited acts, based on what? Based on the opinion that the remaining hair is not among the prohibited acts. But some scholars transmitted the consensus that it is among the prohibited acts. The author's statement "Trimming the nails" means removing them by any means, whether by trimming, cutting, or otherwise, or by pulling them out. The important point is that removing the nails is among the prohibitions of ihram. The author's statement "the nails" includes the nails of the hands and the nails of the feet, and that is the case. The operative cause, as we said, is that there is no Qur'anic or Prophetic evidence, but there is analogy based on the common factor of adornment in both trimming the nails and shaving the hair.
