Question

Is it allowed to cut the mustache and cut the nails on a Thursday? Or it is better on a Friday?

Answer

It is permissible to clip the nails or trim one's hair on any day of the week. However, it is Mustahab to trim the nails on a Friday before Jummah unless it has grown long, then cutting it before Friday will be better.

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