If a man’s beard falls out when he holds it in his hand, or when he is performing wudu, is he sinful for that?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My beard falls out when I hold it in my hand or when I am performing wudu. Is there sin on me for that? And what is the ruling on my combing it in this state?

Answer:
As for performing wudu and the beard falling out because of the wudu, he is not held accountable for that, because wudu is required of him. As for causing it to fall out in the comb or otherwise, that is not permissible for him; it is not permissible for him. If he uses it, he should be gentle; he should use it gently.
