The ruling on removing the hair on the cheeks for men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on removing the hair that grows on the cheeks, the forehead, and the surrounding area for a man?

Answer:
It is better if you do not shave the hair, because if you shave it, even if it is on the cheeks, it will grow back and cause you pain. It is better if you leave it. As for the hair growing on the cheeks, if it is on the bone, on the beard, on the sides of the beard, this is part of the beard. But if it moves forward and is on the cheek and not on the sides of the beard, then it is permissible for you to remove it, but leaving it is better, because if you shave it, it will become stronger, grow back, and cause you pain in the future.
