BREAKING THE SUPERSTITIONS #1
Q-1: Is Cutting nails after Maghrib not allowed in Islam.?
ANSWER
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.779 Narrated by Abu Huraira
I heard the Prophet (saws) saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the ‘Fitra’ (nature): removing the pubic hair, clipping the nails, depilating the hair of the armpits; and circumcision and cutting the moustaches short (for the males)
Other than cutting or clipping one’s nails during the state of ‘ehraam’ for pilgrimage to the Sacred House, the believers, men and women alike, are at absolute liberty to cut or clip their nails anytime of the day or night or any day of the week they will or please or is convenient for them.
We absolutely assure you that there is absolutely nothing in Shariah which prohibits the believers from cutting or clipping their nails after Magrib or at any other time of the day or night they will or please.
The one who declares that it is impermissible or undesirable to cut one’s nails after Magrib should be asked to provide his/her evidence from the Quran and/or the Sunnah for their prohibition….and if they are unable to provide the evidence for the prohibition….and we absolutely assure you that there is no such prohibition found in the Quran or the Sunnah….one should know that this is a self-invented and self-imposed prohibition of the ignorant and has absolutely nothing to do with the Guidance of Islam.
