The Ruling on Taking What Exceeds a Handful from the Beard Following the Example of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to take what exceeds a fistful from the beard, following the example of the Companions?
Answer:
This is a lie. The Companions did not leave what exceeded a fistful, except for one of them when he came out of his state of ihram, and this is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger ordered to honor the beards, let them hang down, let them grow, and leave them long. It is not reported from him, nor is it established from him, taking what exceeds a fistful. This is a weak hadith, and there are defects in its chain. Is it not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Yes.
