Question:
A questioner asks: What is the meaning of extending the forehead?
Answer:
Extending the forehead is a statement by Abu Hurayrah; it is not from a hadith. The hadith states that you stop at the boundaries of the face: its upper limit is the hairline of the head, its lower limit is where the two sides of the beard meet, and its width is from ear to ear. This is the face. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
