Cutting Nails Throughout the Year

Throughout the Year

36. We mentioned the mitzva to cut one’s nails every erev Shabbos and Yom Tov. Some say it is preferable to do so before chatzos; others say it is preferable after chatzos.

37. Erev Pesach. One should be careful on erev Pesach to cut the nails before chatzos. However, if one forgot, he may be meikel after chatzos and even cut his own nails or have someone else cut them free of charge (מ''ב סי' תס''ח סק''ה ).
