Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says.
Answer:
What is the ruling on trimming the beard, and what is the limit of the beard? It is not permissible to trim the beard. The beard is not heavy enough to require trimming. It is not heavy. We have not seen anyone fall because of his beard. It is heavy, and praise be to Allah. How do you trim it? The beard is not to be trimmed, and it is not permissible to take anything from it, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be honored and left long, and commanded that it be grown. Therefore, it is not permissible to take anything from it. Yes.
