Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Some of our brothers trim and shape their beards on the sides until they are almost shaved. We ask for your guidance, may Allah preserve you.
Answer:
This is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to let the beard grow, and trimming it is not letting it grow. He commanded to let it hang down and be left long. This is the ruling. The one who trims, shaves, or plucks it, all of this is forbidden. Yes.
