The Sunnah Method of Nail Clipping

The Sunnah Method of Nail Clipping

The Grand Jurist of India, Sadrush-Shariah, Hazrat Allamah Amjad Ali Aazami Alaihir Rahmah writes:

"The Sunnah method of clipping the nails is to begin with the index finger of the right hand, proceed finger by finger until the little finger, then move to the little finger of the left hand, continuing until the thumb, and finally clip the nail of the right thumb. In this manner, the process both begins and ends with the right hand, which is in accordance with the Sunnah." (Durr-e-Mukhtar)

This was also the established habit of Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahmah, and this humble servant, too, adheres to the same practice.
