Is it permissible to shave the upper lip?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to shave the upper lip?
Answer:
Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to trim the mustaches, to cut the mustaches, and not to let them grow long. However, shaving them completely is disliked because it disfigures the face. So one trims them, cuts them, and shaves them close; this is sufficient. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Trim the mustaches, cut the mustaches." He did not say "shave the mustaches," because shaving them disfigures the face. The scholars dislike shaving the mustaches completely, and some of them are severe in this regard. Yes.
