<b>נטילת צפרנים בחול המועד. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>מותר ליטול צפרנים בין דיד בין דרגל אפי' במספרים: הגה אבל יש מחמירין ואוסרים וכן הוא המנהג להחמיר שלא ליטלן בין בסכין בין במספרים אם לא לצורך מצות טבילה שנוטלן כדרכן בחול: (סמ"ק ותוס')
Cutting Nails on Chol HaMoed. Containing 2 paragraphs: It is permitted to cut fingernails and toenails, even with scissors. Rema: But there are some who are stringent and forbid this. The practice is to be stringent not to cut them, whether with a knife or scissors, if it is not for the mitzvah of immersion, when they should be cut as they are normally done on a weekday (Sma"k and Tosafot).
