Question

Shalom and blessings! My wife was supposed to immerse last Saturday night and prepared for the immersion on Friday. The seventh-day check was invalidated, and she started everything over. The question is, does she need to cut her nails again before the mikvah since she already cut them during the preparations she made last Friday?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

If her nails grow slowly and are currently trimmed, she does not need to cut them again.

If they have grown and are ready to be cut again, she should cut them again.
