Is it true that a fasting person should not cut their nails or shave their pubic hair?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
These actions (trimming nails and hair) are not obligatory for the fasting person, nor do they invalidate the fast. The fasting person refrains from food, drink, sexual intercourse, and sins. As for trimming nails and hair, these are matters of fitra (natural disposition) specified to be done within forty days, and they have no bearing on the validity of the fast.
