Trimming nails is a practice from the of Fitra (innate disposition). It can be done on any day of the week when needed. However, Friday is suitable for this because it is a day when Muslims gather, and because it is part of the complete cleanliness and purification prescribed for Friday. It has been reported that Ibn Umar used to trim his nails and clip his mustache every Friday. For this reason, jurists mention it among the acts recommended to be done on Friday.
