Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have heard a fatwa that if the beard disfigures the appearance, it is permissible to trim it or shave it. Is this correct?
Answer:
But, praise be to Allah, we have not seen a beard that disfigures the appearance. We have never seen anything but that it beautifies the appearance, and praise be to Allah. The One who created it is the Wise, the All-Knowing, who places things in their proper places. He placed the beard in its appropriate place and determined it in a way that beautifies the man. We have not seen any disfigurement. No, this is not propaganda. Yes.
