Is clicking fingers bad?

No. Clicking your fingers is not harmful, does not misshape your fingers (unless you click them the wrong way or direction) and does not cause arthritis. However, it has been related to soft tissue damage around the joint and lower strength grip. So, although it will not cause arthritis, it may do damage to the tissue in the long run.

Does clicking your fingers spoil the shape of fingers?

I'm guessing by clicking you mean the sort of popping action people do when they sort of push their knuckles. This is completely harmless in the long term and will not misshape you fingers, make your fingers shorter or give you arthritis. It's all just an urban myth. When you do click your fingers or pop your knuckles the sound isn't the bone cracking or hitting against another bone, it's simply a small bubble of trapped air which squeezes its way free through a small space. Kind of like poking a balloon with a pin. It creates a small hole and all the air tries to escape at one making a bang. That's all it is. Nothing damage, nothing to worry about. Unless you do it too hard and break something :P But that's not likely to happen.
