The Ruling on Shaving the Beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I heard from some people that there is scholarly disagreement regarding the prohibition of shaving the beard. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Is the disagreement among them, or is it not among the scholars? The hadith states unequivocally: "Let the beards grow," "Let the beards grow," and "Trim the beards." It does not say that one may mess with them as he pleases. The beard is left as it is, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) created it. There is no harm in cleaning it, no harm in perfuming it, and no harm in changing something in it, provided it is not changed to black.
