# It is forbidden to cut one's nails on Shabbat.<ref> The Shulchan Aruch O.C. 340:1 writes that it is biblically forbidden to cuts one's nails on Shabbat. Many ask: how can it be that the shulchan aruch holds chayav if he holds milachah sheayna tzricha ligufa is patur? The magen avraham (340:1) says we must be talking about a case where the guy wants the nails and hair which makes it a milachah shetzricha ligufo and is why the shulchan aruch says chayav. The vilna goan disagrees and says that the shulchan aruch really just feels milachah sheayna tzricha ligufo is chayav. The biur halachah proves from other milachos that this pshat of the gra is not possible. He explains the pshat in the shulchan aruch is that he is holding like the rivash. The rivash (siman 394) explains that milachah sheayna tzricha ligufo is not relevant in this discussion here. Milachah sheayna tzricha ligufo is all determined by the mishkan and in the mishkan there was sometimes hair removal to beautify the oros tichashim so this is a milachah shetzricha ligufo. Only because it is a milachah shetzricha ligufo will it be chayav. </ref> If one has a hangnail that is causing him pain, he may remove it with his fingers or his teeth.<ref> [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=749 Rabbi Eli Mansour] </ref> | [[Image:Hangnail.png|250px|right]] | ||

#If one has a hangnail which became detached along majority of its width and it is causing them pain, they may remove it with their fingers and not a nail cutter.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 328:31, 39 Melachos v. 3 p. 681</ref> According to Sephardim if one has a hangnail that is causing him pain, he may remove it with his fingers or his teeth.<ref> [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=749 Rabbi Eli Mansour] </ref> | |||
#If a woman forgot to cut her nails before Shabbos and is going to mikveh, she should ask a non-Jew to cut her nails on Shabbos. If that’s not possible she may just clean her nails very well.<ref>Mishna Brurah 340:3</ref> | |||
