Remaining Sunnahs and etiquettes of cutting the nails

*   The following is the summary of the narrated method of cutting the nails: Begin with the index finger of the right hand and cut your nails in order, up to and including the little finger but leave the thumb. Then beginning with the small finger of the left hand, cut your nails in order up to and including the thumb. At the end, cut the nail of the right thumb. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 9, p. 670; Ihya-ul-Uloom, vol. 1, p. 193)

*   No specific order of cutting the toe nails has been narrated. It is better to start from the smallest toe of the right foot and cut them in order including the big toe, then cut the nails of the left foot in order, beginning with the big toe up to and including the small toe. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 9, p. 670; Ihya-ul-Uloom, vol. 1, p. 193)
