The Ruling on Shaving the Mustache Completely

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Is it permissible to shave the mustache?

Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to trim the mustaches, to cut the mustaches, and not to leave them long. But shaving them completely is disliked because it disfigures the face. So one trims them, cuts them, and shapes them; that is sufficient. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Trim the mustaches, cut the mustaches,” and he did not say “shave the mustaches,” because shaving them disfigures the face. The scholars dislike shaving the mustache completely; in fact, some of them consider it an error. Yes.
