Question

Is a mohel allowed to cut nails for the purpose of performing a circumcision?

Answer

If there is no other mohel in the city, it is permitted to use scissors. If there is another mohel in the city, during the seven days it is only permitted by using teeth or hands. During the thirty days, one can be lenient and cut the nails needed for the circumcision.
