Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My beard grows very slowly, very slowly indeed. I have heard of a lotion that stimulates beard growth. Is it permissible to use this according to the Shari'ah, knowing that it is safe?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is disliked. Do not go to any trouble, do not go to any trouble. Be content with the beard that Allah created for you. If a beard does not grow for you, be content with that and do not go to the trouble of growing a beard. Yes.
