Artificial Nail Installation

Question
My daughter suffered from a disease that required the removal of the toenails on both of her big toes, and the new nails grew back deformed with no treatment available, causing her psychological pain. She wears socks all day at home, which has led to a fungal infection. Is it permissible for her to have artificial nails for a duration of three months?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If she wears artificial nails for beautification, it is permissible for her to wash them like her feet; due to the necessity of doing so, and God knows best.
