The Ruling on Curling the Beard and Oiling It with Oil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A interpretation was mentioned that one who ties his beard is one who curls it, and that this falls under the category of effeminacy. He asks: What about one who softens it without curling it, or puts oil in it?
Answer:
This is not to be done. It is not permissible to oil it or to oil it excessively. This is not to be done, because it softens it and makes it loose. This is effeminacy and luxury. One should not exaggerate in this. Yes.
