Question:
Is there an authentic hadith or athar regarding how to trim the nails, and what is the duration?
Answer:
Answer: Trimming the nails is a recommended practice (sunnah) for every week, and its method does not have a specific form. The important thing is that one trims his nails and does not let them grow long. It has not been established that there is a specific manner for it. The latest deadline one should not exceed is forty days for cutting the mustache, trimming the nails, plucking the armpits, and shaving the pubic area. These matters should not exceed forty days, based on the hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set a time for us in cutting the mustache, trimming the nails, shaving the pubic area, and plucking the armpits, that we should not leave it for more than forty days, and he said once, forty nights.”
