Question:
What is the ruling on taking something from the beard?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take anything from the beard; rather, it is obligatory to let it grow. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Let the beards grow." To let it grow means to leave it alone and not touch it. He also said, "Let the beards grow long" and "Let the beards hang down." These are authentic hadiths indicating that the beard is to be left as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) created it, without being touched by cutting, plucking, or shaving. It is to be left as it is. This is the obligation upon the Muslim. One should not imitate the ignorant, the open sinners, or the disbelievers who shave their beards in this time, and who abandon the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Letting the beard grow is among the characteristics of the fitrah (the innate natural disposition), among the Sunnahs of the Prophets (peace be upon them), and among the attributes of manliness.
And the absence of a beard is among the attributes of females and women, so a person should not imitate women by making his face like a woman's face, with no beard. Yes.
