🕌 Worship in the home · #99

Which sunnahs of fitrah, such as clipping the nails, should become part of the family's hygiene routine?

Sunnahs of fitrah such as clipping the nails, removing the hair that should be removed and keeping the body clean are practices that easily become a weekly routine. Set one day, such as the eve of Friday, for the family to tend to personal hygiene together. Teach the children that cleanliness is part of the religion and pleasing to others. Provide safe tools and show the right way according to age. Do not make it a chore; make it enjoyable and rewarding. Good personal hygiene makes worship more comfortable and company more pleasant. Start with one fixed practice this week. See everyday adab.
