Annas RadiAllaho Ta’ala Anho relates that the Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam said, “Do not let forty days elapse without trimming the moustache and pairing the nails”.
(Hadeeth taken from Muslim) Meaning that we should cut our nails within forty days. It
has been stated that the consequence of keeping long nails are:
1- There will be no blessings in your wealth.
2- You will become poor.
3- Illness will plague you.
4- Almighty Allah and His Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam will be displeased
with you.
5- The devil sits on long nails. The Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam would cut his
nails every fifteen days.
The Sunnah way of cutting the nails is as follows: Start with the right hand. Index
finger, fore finger, ring finger and little finger. Then move onto the left hand. This
time start with the little finger first, then ring finger, fore finger, index finger the
thumb and lastly the thumb of the right hand. (repeat) (ask if the process is
understood if not repeat a 3rd time) It is recommended to wash the hands after
cutting the nails. The Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam showed the following
order when clipping his blessed toe nails: Again start with the right foot. Small toe
first and proceed until the big toe. Then move onto the left foot. This time you start
with the big toe and conclude with the small toe. (repeat) (ask if the process is
understood if not repeat a 3rd time)
Nowadays it is common to see sisters with nail polish or fake nails on. It is NOT
permissible by Shari’ah (Islamic law) to do this. Most of the nail varnishes are made from
unlawful ingredients. If you apply nail polish a coating is formed on top of your nails.
This prevents water from penetrating fully into your nails whilst performing ablution or
ghusl. Ablution and ghusl are incomplete and any acts of worship carried out are not
accepted. If your ablution and ghusl are not accepted you are counted as impure and the
angels do not enter that house where there is a impure person. However, the same
acceptable effect can be created on your nails by applying henna. This is a recommended
act. As stated in a Hadeeth taken from Abu Dawood: Hadhrat Aisha RadiAllaho Ta’ala
Anha narrates, “A women made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate that she had a
letter for the Apostle of Allah Azzawajal. The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam closed
his hand saying, “I do not know this is a man’s or a woman’s hand”. She said, “No, a
woman”. He Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam said, “If you were a woman, you would make a
difference to your nails. Meaning with henna”. A lot of sisters, without realising bit their
nails. This should not be done as it is disliked and a predisposition to infectious diseases.
For example if one has big nails more then likely that under the nails there will be germs
and bacteria.
When the nails are bitten the germs are transferred into the mouth and down the gut and
into the stomach. Many sisters tend to bit their nails because they can’t be bothered
cutting them or because they have a habit of doing do. This habit can be broken if sisters
made the intention to cut their nails because it is Sunnah to do so n insha Allah Azzawajal
they will gain reward.
