The questioner : She asks about the ruling on growing nails for a specific period of six months.
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set a time limit for the nails, the pubic hair, the armpits, and the moustache, stating that they should not be left for more than forty days. Once the forty days are complete, they must be removed, even if they are short, because people differ in the growth of their nails and hair, but they should not exceed forty days.
For example, if forty days have passed for a person and his nails are not long but can be cut, he should cut them, even if they are short. The same applies to the pubic hair, the moustache, and the armpits.
As for what some women do, imitating the women of the disbelievers by lengthening their nails or lengthening some of them, this is contrary to the Sunnah, and I fear that the one who does it is a sinner.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. O brothers and sisters, the honorable Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen, professor at the College of Sharia and Principles of Religion in al-Qasim, and preacher and imam of the Grand Mosque in the city of Unaizah, has answered your questions. May Allah reward the Shaykh and bless him and his knowledge, and may Allah benefit the Muslims through him. Until we meet again, if Allah wills, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
