Is it necessary/compulsory to get our nails and pubic hair trimmed every 40 days? i know it is sunnat to do so, but is it really necessary?
Answer
(Fatwa: 1211/920/H=1431)
It is necessary on forty days, but sunnah is to get cleanliness by shaving the pubic and armpit hair and cutting nails each week specially on Friday. The details are mentioned in the book Fatawa Shami under the chapter hazar wa ibaha.
