Fact: It is Not Part of the Friday Rituals. Clipping the nails is one of the Sunan al-Fitrah & applies on both Men & women
Having long nails more than 40 days is against the fitrah. The reason behind cutting the nails is cleanliness and hygiene because dirt can gather under the nails ( in general) So , we cut them short usually from the base not so close that it cuts in to the skin and harm the fingertips
