Question

How long can one keep the nails in Islam?

Answer

Once the nails become long and grow beyond the area of the fingers and toes, it is better for one to cut them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
