Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the limit of the beard? And is it permissible to take from what exceeds a handful?
Answer:
It has no limit, my brother. The beard is a creation as it was created. All of these are hadiths from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Do not mess with the beard; leave it as it is.
