The Ruling on Trimming the Beard and Taking from It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Recently, among some students of knowledge, some righteous people, and some preachers, the phenomenon of trimming the beard and taking from it has spread. They base this on a fatwa by some of the students of knowledge as well. What is your guidance for these people?
Answer:
We were not commanded to follow fatwas and opinions; we were commanded to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged us to honor the beard, let it hang down, let it grow, leave it as it is, and not touch it. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. As for what so-and-so said or what so-and-so said, no, it is not permissible for us to follow it if it contradicts the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
