The Ruling on Letting the Beard Grow Beyond a Handful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on letting the beard grow longer than a fist's length?
Answer:
Who defined the handful? The beard is left as it is, a handful, not a span, not less, not more, as Allah created it, and it is never limited. This limitation has no basis, and it is not permissible to touch it, neither by cutting, nor plucking, nor shaving, nor by anything else. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
