Question
What is the ruling on artificial nails, knowing that they are built on natural nails and can be removed easily, but they prevent water from reaching the natural nail, and they are long and contradict the Sunnah of trimming nails?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: this is restricted to what you have indicated, that it does not prevent ablution and prayer, and this is different from natural prolongation; because it is possible to adorn oneself with it for a limited time in front of the husband without harm, and God knows best.
