The Ruling on Trimming the Beard and Rebuking Those Who Do So
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some students of knowledge trim their beards like this, from their beards.
The Shaykh:
It is with one beard. Yes.
The questioner:
They trim their beards and say that this is a matter of scholarly disagreement and that it is not permissible to rebuke them for it. Is this statement correct?
The Shaykh:
We rebuke anyone who contradicts the evidence, and these people have contradicted the evidence. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to honor the beard, let it hang down, let it grow, and leave it long. All of this is in the authentic collections. So they are contradicting the evidence. When a disagreement or opinions contradict the evidence, they are to be rebuked and refuted. Whoever does a deed for which we have no command from us, it is rejected. Yes.
