The ruling on trimming the deceased's beard and cutting his hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
He is making up a missed prayer.
The presenter:
He stood up to make up the prayer, and then a person came who had missed the entire prayer and wanted to join him.
The Shaykh:
No, do not prevent him; he prays with him, and praise be to Allah. When he concludes the prayer, the person completes his prayer.
The presenter:
He may lead the prayer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. When a person dies, his beard should be trimmed and his nails cut. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Say something else. Say: There is no harm in what is lost, and there is no harm in what is burned.
The presenter:
What Allah willed.
The Shaykh:
Cutting the hair, if it is light, is fine.
The presenter:
Even if it is excessive.
The Shaykh:
Cutting the hair of children is fine, yes.
The presenter:
As for the currency, the work is not.
The Shaykh:
No, do not touch it, and cover it all.
The presenter:
If there is harm.
The Shaykh:
If it has grown, do not divide it, even without fire.
