The claim that the Prophet’s lengthening of his hair was a custom and not an act of worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lengthening his hair was a custom that people practiced at that time, and not an act of worship. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
This is a ridiculous statement. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the role model. He does not do what people do. Rather, he does what Allah has prescribed for him. He is the role model for his Ummah (the Muslim community) (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
