<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) The practices of Fitrah are varied. They are intended to honor human beings and put them in the best form and condition.<br> 2) Islam calls for purification, beauty, and cleanliness, inwardly and outwardly.<br> 3) The Sunnah regarding “trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, shaving the pubes, and plucking armpit hair” is that we should not leave that for forty days, as related in an authentic Hadith narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and reported by Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him).<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> A person would not deviate from the Prophetic guidance or contradict any practice of the Fitrah except because his innate disposition was negatively affected by something, such as growing up in a bad environment. So, the believer should adhere to the practices of the Fitrah, which involve beauty and cleanliness, as well as the reward of following the Sunnah.<br> <br> <b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br> Fitrah: The instinctive innate disposition in which Allah Almighty has created people, including the inclination to accept and do what is good - unless there are some bad influences that spoil this natural state.<br> Sniffing water: It is to let water into the nose to clean it. This is done in ablution and when needed.
