◇بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم◇
Narrated by Abu Huraira(r.a) :
I heard the Prophet (saw) saying. " Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra (nature): removing the pubic hair, clipping the nails, depilating the hair of the armpits; and circumcision and cutting the moustaches short (for the males). "
( Al Bukhari )
Lengthening one's nails is contradictory to the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw).
This is because keeping nails short and removing such things is among the endless beauties of Islam which urges people to be clean, pure, well-conducted and well-educated. The ultimate aim of Islam is to make the Muslim be in the best state and the best image. No doubt that long nails that resemble lion's claws are not beautiful.
Moreover, Not cutting one's nails for more than forty days is dislikeable.
Anas (r.a) said: "The Prophet (saw) fixed a deadline for us for cutting the nails, plucking out the armpit hair and shaving the pubic hair (he ordered us) not to leave any of those more than 40 days."
[Ahmad, Abu Daawood and others]
Remember .. Islam orders only that which is beautiful and prohibits only that which is ugly.
