📌 Growing long nails

❓ Question: It is a fashion for women to grow long nails of at least one finger. According to sharī'ah, is this allowed? (Sr. Jabeen Akhtar, Sheffield)
✍🏻 Answer: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) has mentioned 10 things that are human nature, according to a ḥadīth record by al-Bukhārī (5889, 5890, 5891, & 6297), Muslim (257, & 261), and others. Among them is the cutting of the nails. So, growing long nails is against the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him), as well as the sunnah of all other Prophets and is also against human nature. Muslim women, before adopting a trend or fashion, should check it according to the Islāmic sharī'ah and not blindly follow the non-Muslims.
