Lengthening the Nails for Adornment

Question:
He also asks: Is it permissible to lengthen the nails for adornment?

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. No, the five things are not to be left to grow long for one who has the characteristics of animals. It is a characteristic of the predatory beasts. So he trims his nails every week, or whatever exceeds that slightly.
And he trims his mustache, and he removes the hair from his armpits, and he removes the hair from his private parts; he does not let these things grow long. These are among the characteristics of the fitrah (the innate natural disposition); removing them is among the characteristics of the fitrah, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes, leaving them is imitating the disbelievers and the wild ones. There are people called the Hippies, they are called the Hippies, who do not remove their hair or their nails, so they become like the beasts. We ask Allah for well-being. Dirt accumulates on them, filth accumulates on them, and they become deformed. We ask Allah for well-being. Are you imitating them, the Hippies? Yes.

May Allah reward you.
