The Ruling on Trimming the Beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking from the beard?
Answer:
It is not permissible, my brother. The beard is what has been commanded of you, and it is one of your features, a beauty for you, and a distinction between you and women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be grown, honored, sent down, and let hang loose. So you must obey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Do not look to those who are obsessed with contradiction and sin, and Satan has made that attractive to them, so the beard became heavy for them, and acting upon the Sunnah became heavy for them. Do not look to these people; look to those who implement the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and act upon it, and the beard will be a beauty for you and a splendor for you. Yes.
