وفي الخانية ينبغي أن يدفن قلامة ظفره ومحلوق شعره وإن رماه فلا بأس وكره إلقاؤه في كنيف أو مغتسل لأن ذلك يورث داء وروي أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر بدفن الشعر والظفر وقال لا تتغلب به سحرة بني آدم اه ولأنهما من أجزاء الآدمي فتحترم وروى الترمذي عن عائشة رضي الله عنها كان صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر بدفن سبعة أشياء من الإنسان الشعر والظفر والحيضة والسن والقلفة والمسحة اه
