Q: I used to keep the nails of my toes 4-5 mm long, because cutting them completely would cause new nails to pierce into the flesh besides them, which is painful. I kept them like this for more than a year.
Will the ablutions which I took during this time be correct (because a small amount of the skin is kept hidden under the nails)?
A: Yes, the wudhu is valid.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
