The Ruling on Trimming the Beard and al-Tirmidhi's Hadith on It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, what is the ruling on trimming the beard? We know that when we advise some of those who trim their beards, they learn that there is a hadith in the book of al-Tirmidhi?
Answer:
A hadith, but it is not acted upon due to its weakness, and it is not cited as evidence. The multiple authentic hadiths command letting the beard grow, completing it, honoring it, leaving it as it is, and letting it hang down, without taking anything from it. Yes.
