The Boundaries of the Beard and Its Trimming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: What are the boundaries of the beard? And is it permissible to trim it? The beard
Answer:
Its boundaries are what covers the cheeks and the chin. What covers the cheeks on the sides of the face and the chin, which is the collection of the two beards, which is the beard. It is not permissible to trim it, meaning to cut it. This is not permissible, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to let it grow, let it hang down, let it flow, and let it be long. There are authentic hadiths with different wordings but the same meaning. The meaning is that one does not touch the beard by cutting, plucking, or shaving. Shaving is the most severe.
