Clipping one's nails in the state of haidh
Question
If a lady is in haidh, is it permissable for her to cut her nails and hair? It is uncomfortable when it's long.
Answer
It is makrooh for a woman in the state of haidh to clip her nails. However if there is the need for her to clip her nails (e.g. it has grown very long), it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
