Hadith: Five are acts of Fitrah (natural disposition): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hair
عن أبِي هريرة رضي اللَّه عنه: سمعتُ النبِيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
«الفِطْرَةُ خمسٌ: الخِتَانُ والاستحدادُ وقصُّ الشَّارِبِ وتقليمُ الأظفارِ وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ».

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Five are acts of Fitrah (natural disposition): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hair."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Bukhari - 5891]
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.
Benefits from the Hadith
- The messengers' practices that Allah likes, is pleased with, and enjoins lead to perfection, purity, and beauty.
- The legitimacy of observing these acts and not overlooking them.
- These acts serve religious and worldly benefits, such as: improving appearance, cleaning the body, being heedful about purification, differing from the disbelievers, and complying with the commands of Allah.
- Other Hadīths mention more acts of the Fitrah other than these five, like letting the beard grow and using the tooth-stick.
