Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to remove some of the facial hair by plucking or otherwise, or to remove hair from the cheek on the basis that it is not part of the beard? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the facial hair is normal, nothing should be removed from it, as there is no need to remove it. However, if it disfigures the face, if there is disfigurement, or if it causes the person harm, there is no harm in removing it, because it is not part of the beard. The beard is what grows on the cheeks and the chin; this is the beard, what grows on the cheeks and the chin. As for the hair on the face, if it is normal and does not cause disfigurement, he should not remove it. But if it is disfiguring and causes him harm, there is no harm in removing it. Yes.
