Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner asks, saying: The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so letting the beard grow has a great reward, and our model in that is our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so letting it grow is obligatory. He says: My question is, is it established from any of the four Imams that he used to shave his beard completely?
The Shaykh:
Is it established?
The questioner:
Is it established from any of the four Imams that he used to shave his beard completely?
The Shaykh:
Far from it, no. The Imams do not shave their beards; rather, they follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Only the ignorant and the foolish, who are unaware of the Sunnah, shave it. Yes.
