Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan said:

[1]: Cleaning One’s Teeth : Using the siwaak (2) is a highly recommend S unnah . There are many
aḥaadeeth that mention the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) encouraged the/use of the siwaak . The siwaak cleanses the mouth and removes foul odors. Using it is from Islamic etiquette. The Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam) said: If it wasn’t for the fact
that I do not want to cause hardship on my
nation, I would have ordered that the siwaak be
used for every wuḍoo . [Bukhaaree]

[2]: Moisturizing One’s Hair : It is recommended to
moisturize one’s hair every other day, just as the
Messenger (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would
do. (3)

[3]: Looking at One’s Self in the Mirror : It is
recommended to look at one’s self in the mirror
when he finishes cleaning and beautifying
himself. One looks in the mirror because there is
a possibility that something needs to be
adjusted or tweaked. Thus, one looks in the
mirror before going out to meet people. This is
the Sunnah . The Messenger of Allah (salallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam) used to look in the mirror (4)


[4]: Using Delightful Fragrances (5): This is done
because all of the Prophets did so. It is also
done so that a person’s scent is pleasant, not
offensive. So, he applies fragrances when he
generally goes to prayer, and specifically when
he goes to Friday prayer ( al-Jumu’ah ). He also
uses delightful fragrances in the circles of
remembrance and when he goes to gatherings.

[5]: Shaving the Pubic Area: It is recommended
to remove the hair from one’s pubic area. This
can be done by any means that serves the
purpose. This is also from the ways of the
Prophets.

[6]: Trimming the Mustache Closely: So, one
does not let his mustache grow long. Likewise,
he does not shave it completely because that is
considered a form of disfigurement. He leaves its
origin. This is because the Messenger (salallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam) did not command us to shave
it completely; rather, he ordered us to trim it
closely (6). This is a form of beautification for
men.

[7]: Trimming One’s Nails : From the way of the
Prophet is to trim one’s fingernails and toenails,
they are not to be left long. Leaving them long
is considered ugliness and a resemblance to
predatory animals.

[8]: Removing One’s Underarm Hair : One also
removes the hair from his underarms by any
means that serve the purpose. This is because
leaving hair to grow under the arms is ugly, and
it causes an unpleasant odor.
