Arabic text

295 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «وُقِّتَ لَنَا فِي قَصِّ الشَّارِبِ، وَحَلْقِ الْعَانَةِ، وَنَتْفِ الْإِبْطِ، وَتَقْلِيمِ الْأَظْفَارِ، أَنْ لَا نَتْرُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً»

Commentary

The acts must be performed as and when considered necessary. But even if delayed, the delay must not be for more than forty days, otherwise it shall be counted as sin. It should not, however, be construed that it is forbidden to do these acts in less than forty days.
