During the 40 days of Nifaas (post-natal bleeding), is it permissible to remove hair from the body, to cut ones nails or to have a bath/shower?
Answer
It is Makrooh to trim or cut the unwanted hair or nails in the state of impurity. (Bahishti Zewar vol.2 pg.83 ZamZam)
This would refer to the period of Nifaas as well. However, it is also Makrooh to allow the unwanted hair and nails to grow for more than 40 days or so long that water does not flow freely over the skin under the nails and that dirt does not accumulate under it.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
