The Ruling on Letting the Beard Grow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is letting the beard grow a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory?
Answer:
Who said that? No, letting the beard grow is obligatory. It is obligatory because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, and a command implies obligation. All these narrations regarding the beard state that it should be left to grow, and this command is for obligation, especially since it was repeated by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
