Some people have big nails while some people always keep biting their nails. Cutting nails is a good habit. But before cutting nails, both day and time should be kept in mind.
In the scriptures, cutting nails after sunset is prohibited.

Or don’t cut nails at night. Many people still follow the tradition of not cutting nails after sunset.
You may find these words of grandmothers strange or a myth. But the reason for this has also been explained in the scriptures. If you follow the advice given by your grandmothers, you can avoid any untoward or inauspicious incidents in future. Besides, the well-being of the family is hidden in these words of grandmothers. Let us know what is the reason behind this belief.
Reason for the belief of not cutting nails in the evening
Actually, grandmothers say that do not cut nails in the evening or at night. The main reason for this is the care of our fingers. Because we need to be very careful while cutting nails otherwise our fingers may get cut. In old times, there was no proper arrangement for lighting, there was neither electricity nor net cutters. In ancient times, people used to cut nails with sharp objects like knives etc. That is why our ancestors insisted that nails should not be cut at night, so that the hands do not get harmed in any way.
what does the scriptures say
Astrologer Anish Vyas says that in the scriptures, doing many things after sunset is considered inauspicious, of which cutting nails at night is also one of them. Cutting nails at night is inauspicious. This brings poverty at home and Goddess Lakshmi also gets angry. Because evening time is the time of arrival of Goddess Lakshmi. In such a situation, it is not auspicious to do tasks related to dirt like cutting nails, cutting hair, combing hair or cleaning the house at this time. Therefore, you should do these things before sunset.
Regarding nail cutting, it is also said in the scriptures that nails should not be cut on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday and Wednesday are good days for cutting nails.
