· I will not throw the nail clippings into the toilet or bathroom (because it is Makrūĥ, i.e., disliked and causes illnesses).

· I will grow my hair according to the Sunnaĥ, up to half way down the ears, or up to the ear lobe, or up to the shoulders.[1]
· I will let the hair grow on my head equally; I will not get it cut from the sideburns; I will only get it cut from the nape of my neck.

In order to earn the reward of acting upon a Mustaḥab
act, I apply (yellow or red) henna (Meĥndī) to my
white/grey hair after having recited ‘بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ’.[2]
[1] It is prohibited (Ḥarām) for a man to grow his hair below his shoulders.
[2] It is reported on page 152 of Sharḥ-uṣ-Ṣudūr by Sayyidunā Anas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: Whoever dyes his beard (with a colour other than black, for example red or yellow Meĥndī) then after his death Munkar and Nakīr will not question him. Munkar will say: O Nakīr! How can I question the man who has the luminosity of Islam shining on his face?
