Question

While in a state of Haidh, it is makrooh to remove unwanted hair/nails. However, I will also be entering into ihram during Haidh. Can I shave/trim nails when tying ihram? Is there any sin for having not shaved or long nails during ihram?

Answer

Yes, it is permissible for you to remove your unwanted hair and clip your nails before entering into ihraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
