The five acts of Al-Fitra are circumcision (Khitān), removing hair from the armpit (intif al-Ibt), trimming the nails (taqleem al-Axfār), removing pubic hair (al-Istiħdād, meaning shaving the pubic area), and clipping the mustache (qaṣṣ ash-Shārib). These are established by a report from Abu Hurayrah, affirmed as agreed upon by Bukhari and Muslim (Muttafaq 'alayhi).
