Fatwa #1191519 June 2004Pakistan
It is claimed that if a person cuts his nails after Maghrib it brings "Nahussaat" or laziness.
Question
There are certain beliefs of my family members, especially females about which I am concerned. Please confirm their validity or otherwise in Shariah. Also, if someone cuts his nails and does not dispose them off immediately and instead keeps them in his room, then this act of his brings laziness. Please comment in the light of the teachings of Rasullah Sallahu Alayhe Wasallam
Answer
Both the beliefs; cutting the nails after Maghrib Salaat and not disposing of them immediately brings laziness, are incorrect.
