Question
If the nails are way too long while one is in the state of haidh, can it be cut?
Answer
It is not permissible to clip nails during the state of janaabat. Why would the nails be 'way too long' when one is in the state of janaabat? It will be so due to one's carelessness. Before haidh begins, one should clip the nails. It is Sunnah to clip the nails once every seven days. However, if due to carelessness, one did not clip the nails, and during the haidh period, forty days have passed without clipping the nails, then it will be Waajib to clip the nails even in janaabat.
