Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does trimming the mustache mean trimming the edges so that the upper lip is visible, or does it mean trimming the entire mustache so that the root of the hair is visible?
Answer:
Trimming the mustache means cutting it, because some of the trimming of mustaches is cutting them. It remains a removal by razor, because this is disfiguring the face. One cuts it with a razor and leaves some of it to beautify its place. If you shave the frame around the mouth, you shave it with a razor; that is better. You shave what is close to the mouth with a razor, and what exceeds that, you cut it. Yes.
