The ruling on taking from the beard what exceeds a handful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking from the beard what exceeds a handful?
Answer:
My brother, the beard is not heavy, nor is it burdensome. Why do you take from it what exceeds the handful? Who told you this? Let the beard be in its natural state, in the form Allah created it, for it is beauty for you and perfection for you. So why do you interfere with it? It is only that Satan beautifies for people the meddling with their beards, except for whom Allah has mercy. They meddle with their beards, either by shaving them, or by cutting them, or by trimming them here and there, and they have no concern but their beards, because Satan urges them to do so. Just as Satan has taken hold of some women regarding their eyebrows, so it has become their main preoccupation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has them plucked, that is, the one who removes the hair from her eyebrows. Satan was eager for women to focus on their eyebrows, so it became the woman's main preoccupation. Look, the eyebrow is not something to be made to appear, nor something to be made to disappear. Her only concern is the eyebrow, because Satan beautified it for her. And the eyebrow was created by Allah in a specific measure, and He adorned it and determined it, and there is no need for the woman to interfere with it, were it not that Satan beautified this for her. Yes.
