The ruling on taking what exceeds a handful from the beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Is it permissible to take what exceeds a handful from the beard?
Answer:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to let the beard grow. What does letting it grow mean? Not taking from it. You leave the beard as it is. So it is not permissible to shave the beard, not with a razor, not with a clipper, not by shaving it off, and not by thinning it out as they say. Yes, letting it grow means leaving it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
