Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person lets his nails grow long before forty days, is he required to cut them?
Answer:
Yes, if they grow to a length that is out of the ordinary, he is required to cut them, even if they have not reached forty days. Forty days is the last limit, the last limit, the upper limit. If he cuts them before that, every week, that would be better. Tending to them every week is better. Yes.
