Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who forgets to cut his nails before assuming the state of Ihram.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He must leave them as they are.’ I then said, ‘A man from our people gave a Fatwa to cut his nails and assume the state of Ihram again and he did accordingly.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes one animal as offering to be slaughtered.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/321))
