The ruling on one who shaves his beard but leaves a part of it, and its naming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who shaves his beard, but leaves a small part at the bottom of the chin? Is the word "female" applied to him? And there was applause?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to repent. He is not called a female, nor is he called a female. It is said: "Fear Allah and seek forgiveness from your Lord." That is enough. Address him with what is best, not with ugly words.
