انسانی فطرت کے تقاضے

Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “These five things are among the requirements of human nature (fitrah) and the special commands of the natural religion (i.e. Islam): (1) circumcision, (2) removing the pubic hair, (3) trimming the moustache, (4) clipping the nails, and (5) plucking the hair of the armpits.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

Through his teachings and his conduct the Messenger of Allah ﷺ guided the Ummah in matters of appearance and outward grooming, just as he did in other areas of life. These are in reality requirements of human nature, and they have also been shown to be the way and practice (sunnah) of the prophets and messengers. It is therefore recommended (masnun) to attend regularly to bodily care and cleanliness and never to be negligent in it. Purity, cleanliness and wholesomeness are common to the teaching of all the prophets and messengers, and are without doubt a requirement of human nature.
