The ruling on taking what exceeds a fistful from the beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Regarding the beard, do we take what exceeds a fistful by following Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), or do we leave it?
The Shaykh:
In what respect?
The questioner:
Do we take what exceeds a fistful and follow 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), or do we leave it?
The Shaykh:
One follows the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger's beard was thick, and he did not take from it. He did not take from it. The report that he used to take from the length and width of his beard is not established from him (peace and blessings be upon him). What is established is from Ibn 'Umar, based on his independent reasoning (may Allah be pleased with him). The proof lies in what is narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
