When to cut Nails

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has said that, 'He who cuts his nails on Friday, will be in Allah's (The Exalted) protection for the following week. He who cuts his nails on a Saturday will be spared from illness, and he who cuts his nails on Sunday will have poverty taken away from him. If someone is mentally unstable then by cutting his nails on Monday, this illness will be cured. He who cuts his nails on a Tuesday will also be protected from illness. It is better not to cut nails on Wednesday as there are hadith for and against.

Imam Tahawi said, paring nails on Wednesdays can cause leprosy. To cut nails on Thursday will cure illness such as leprosy. '

Story:

A pious ‘Aalim used to cut his nails on Wednesday, and when he was told about the Hadeeth which states that it is Makrooh to cut nails on Wednesday, he stopped cutting nails on that day but then once again he started cutting nails deliberately on a Wednesday and got afflicted by leprosy.

He saw the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon Him – in his dream.  The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon Him – said to him, “Did you not listen to my Hadeeth about the condemnation of cutting nails on Wednesday?”

He replied, “That Hadeeth did not appear to be sound in my opinion.”

“My Hadeeth narration was just sufficient for you”, said the Holy prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon Him – and then he rubbed his hand on his body compassionately and the disease of leprosy was cured completely.
