Does trimming nails invalidate ablution (Wudu')?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Trimming the nails does not nullify ablution (wudu') by the consensus of jurists. If someone performs ablution and then trims their nails, their ablution remains valid, and they are not required to repeat the ablution or wash the area where the nail was.
