The ruling on taking from the beard hair to make it even
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on taking from the beard hair so that it becomes even, so that some of it is level with the rest?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is not permissible, and this does not open the door for you to take from here and let that side grow, then go take from there and let this side grow. This becomes a ruse to shave the beard. This is not permissible. The beard is left as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and no action is taken with it, except that it is washed and that oil is applied to the hair, and there is no harm in that. But taking from it is not permissible. Yes.
