Sahih Muslim 261a

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ten are the acts according to fitra: (1) clipping the mustache, (2) letting the beard grow, (3) using the siwāk/miswāk (toothstick), (4) snuffing water in the nose ˹for cleaning˺, (5) cutting the nails, (6) washing the finger joints, (7) plucking the hair under the armpits, (8) shaving the pubic hair, and (9) cleaning one's private parts with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been (10) rinsing the mouth.

Notes

• Qutaybah added that Wakīʿ said that intiqāṣ al-māʾ means istinjāʾ (cleaning the private parts with water).
