Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the nail filed while it is long?
The Shaykh : No, it is not filed. May Allah reward you. It is filed after being cut, after it has been cut with scissors or a nail file, then it is filed.
The questioner : No, is it actually, O Shaykh, for the sake of adornment?
The Shaykh: Yes: But do you mean that after he cuts them, he files them?
The questioner : No, may Allah reward you...?
The Shaykh : The point is that with this filing, the excess is removed.
The questioner : No, before filing, without filing, without anything?
The Shaykh : In any case, there is nothing wrong with it. The original ruling is that it is permissible. If a person adorns himself with anything, it is permissible.
