Is it permissible to trim the beard?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to trim the beard? And what is the permissible limit for trimming?
Answer:
That means we do not permit it and say there is a limit; this is not permissible, it is not permissible at all. The beard is to be left as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) created it. It is beauty for the man and good for the man. We have not seen anyone who is harmed by his beard or whose face is disfigured by it; rather, it increases his beauty. What disfigures the face is cutting the beard or shaving it off; that is what disfigures the face. As for leaving the beard, it is beauty and acceptability. Yes.
