عن أبِي هريرة رضي اللَّه عنه: سمعتُ النبِيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «الفِطْرَةُ خمسٌ: الخِتَانُ والاستحدادُ وقصُّ الشَّارِبِ وتقليمُ الأظفارِ وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ».

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned five acts that belong to the religion of Islam and the practices of the messengers. First: Circumcision: This is to cut the foreskin of the glans of the male organ and to cut the tip of a female's clitoris. Second: Shaving the pubes. This is to cut the pubic hair, which grows around the sex organs. Third: trimming the mustache. This is to trim the hair that grows on a man's upper lip in a way that makes the lip visible.

Fourth: Clipping the nails. Fifth: Plucking the armpit hair.
