Why do you need to cut your nails?
It cannot be denied that modern canons of beauty and aesthetics are inextricably linked with a person’s appearance. Deprived of care, the hands of a person with carelessly grown, dirty, broken or, worse, nibbled nails are a sign of inferiority.
Well-groomed nails
No intellectual level will overshadow the factor of visual perception of personality by other people. Having met an unkempt person with unkempt nails and hands, especially in combination with the same appearance, we want to end all contacts with him as quickly as possible.
Financial and social success is associated with this factor: no one would think of continuing to cooperate and communicate with a slob.
Don't forget about nail plate hygiene. Untidy nails are a source of bacteria and infections for the entire body.
Opinion of other religions
In Japan, it is believed that at night you can anger evil spirits with such actions, because many magical rituals are based on the use of hair and nails. Therefore, you can’t leave a piece of yourself anywhere so that it won’t be taken advantage of.
The Chinese consider long nails to be a symbol of wealth and wisdom. They need them to communicate with higher powers. Muslims are allowed to cut their plates at any time of the day.
The following cases are exceptions:
- being in ihram and performing Umrah or Hajj;
- before the sacrifice during Kuraban Bayram.
Islamic experts believe that it is better to cut your nails on Friday before going to prayer.
Fajr - Time of morning Namaz (prayer)
How often should you cut your nails?
The nail plate has an individual growth rate, so it is impossible to prescribe a universal rule for cutting that is suitable for absolutely everyone. The frequency of the procedure depends on the condition of the nail plate , its tendency to delamination, fragility and susceptibility to other defects.
Cutting nails with a nail clipper
Healthy nails tend to be trimmed less often, while damaged nails need more attention to avoid unwanted damage. If a person’s nails are not ideal in their condition, it would not be a bad idea to listen to folk traditions.
This is the fruit of centuries of observation of the consequences of certain of our actions with reference to the phases of the lunar calendar, days of the week or time of day. You can safely coordinate the time and frequency of cutting nails with popular ideas about the world.

The reasons for the emergence of folk signs
Particles of overgrown keratinized matter of the human body - nails and hair, which needed to be periodically cut off from their own body, were taken quite seriously by the ancients. Nails and hair were considered carriers of their owner’s energy, suitable for causing magical harm. Therefore, it was customary to take the forced action of cutting a haircut very seriously, which is associated with a huge number of signs and beliefs.
Modern man treats the process of cutting nails practically
Modern people perceive the procedure of cutting nails more often utilitarianly, as a means of maintaining hygiene and aesthetics. But in the traditions of almost all peoples of the planet, the ritual of cutting nails, like hair, was endowed with deep meaning.
Many generations of our ancestors drew conclusions from their own observations of the influence of certain circumstances on nail cutting. This has given rise to many signs and beliefs in folk memory related to the need or intensity of caring for the nail plate.
Down with negative energy!
The first thing a person who wants to get rich needs to do is clean his house. Only ideal cleanliness and the absence of old things can contribute to material growth. Plumbing is of great importance in this matter. As long as your taps are leaking and your toilet is not working properly, money will be regularly washed out and leaked out of your life.

Hygiene and personal care
What to do with cut nails or hair? And on what day of the week can they be cut?
It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon him) buried cut hair, nails, as well as blood-stained items that were no longer suitable for use, such as bloody bandages (this also includes napkins, cotton wool, etc.) [1 ].
In rural areas this is easy to do, but in urban areas it is more difficult. Therefore, throwing it in a garbage container is tantamount to burying it, since the garbage is taken to landfills, buried in huge pits, or sorted and recycled.
It makes no difference when or on which day to cut your nails. It is best that this happens at least once a week, like many other hygiene procedures.
Are Muslim women allowed to cut their hair?

If I get dental implants, can I pray after that? Is it even possible to do something like this according to religion? Elmira, 47 years old.
Dental implantation is the implantation of an artificial tooth root into the bone in place of a missing one. This does not affect the presence of ritual purity or the validity of prayer at all. From the point of view of the Sunnah, a believer must be treated (if he is sick), maintain his health, look neat, well-groomed, and clean. When choosing the most optimal solution to this issue (dental treatment), dental implants, of course, can be used.
