Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The ten acts of Fitrah are mentioned in the following Hadeeth.

The Prophet said: “Ten are among the Fitrah acts (i.e. natural disposition): “Clipping the mustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, snuffing water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, and cleaning one's private parts with water.” The narrator said: “I have forgotten the tenth; it may have been rinsing the mouth.” [Muslim, Ahmad, an-Nasaa’i and at-Tirmithi]

Allah knows best.
