Is a man held accountable if he cuts his hair or nails while in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), based on the belief that these parts will return to him on the Day of Resurrection and the effect of janabah will remain upon them?
It has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that "the believer does not become impure," neither alive nor dead. There is no শরعي (Shar'i) evidence to indicate disapproval of removing hair or clipping nails from a person in a state of (major ritual impurity). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded a person who embraced Islam to perform (ritual bath), and he did not command him to delay circumcision or hair removal, which indicates the permissibility of both. Similarly, a menstruating woman is commanded to comb her hair during her ghusl, even though combing removes some hair.
