A Guide to Trimming the Beard Below a Handful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: My question is about taking a loan for a fall.
The Shaykh: I say that about some of the Companions and the Successors.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Oh, it is done.
The questioner: Just as we take out the sermon from the side.
The Shaykh: The topic is moving along.
The questioner: Our Shaykh, we are asking about 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar; is this not specific to Hajj and 'Umrah? No.
The Shaykh : I have not heard it in a general sense.
The questioner : Also, in matters other than Hajj and 'Umrah.
The Shaykh: It is also established from Jamlah Salim.
The questioner : Okay.
The Shaykh : Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner: I do not exempt. It did not happen. This is what does not occur. The idea.
The Shaykh: And there is a report from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i that the Companions used to take from their beards, and this is found in *Shu'ab al-Iman* which has not yet been printed,
The questioner: Meaning, the action of the Companions indicates the permissibility of the foolish. How? From their action (may Allah be pleased with them).
The Shaykh: Their action adds that one of them is the narrator of the hadith of leaving the beard untrimmed, and he is Ibn 'Umar.
The questioner: Until we meet again.
The Shaykh: Sweet peace.
The questioner: But here, our Shaykh, I have a query: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not heard to have taken what exceeded it.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Meaning, it is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took what exceeded a handful.
The Shaykh : And it is not established that he did not take.
The questioner: But the marriage, we took a report.
The Shaykh: What is it? Why did it catch your attention that the narrator of the hadith is Ibn 'Umar? What do you think? Since you have no report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not take, and you have no report that he did take, when you find some of the Salaf, and among them Ibn 'Umar, who heard the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) say "Let the beards grow," and then he takes from his beard what exceeds a handful, in addition to the fact that he was the most zealous of the Companions in following the Sunnah to the point of exaggeration, how does he exaggerate in following the Messenger in matters that are not prescribed by others, and then contradict this general principle of his by contradicting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the beard which he commanded to be left untrimmed, unless he saw him taking from it?
