Note 2
(2) The statement: "not to leave it for more than forty nights": In Al-Qunya: The best is to clip nails, shave the mustache, shave the pubic hair, and clean the body by bathing once a week. If not, then every fifteen days. There is no excuse for leaving it beyond forty days. The week is the best, fifteen days is moderate, forty days is the furthest, and there is no excuse beyond forty days, and it incurs a warning according to us. Thus, it is stated in Al-Mirqat and Al-Alamgiriyyah.
