Shaving the beard.

The questioner : In one of the markets, ... he shaves it and it grows back new, ... it is not part of the beard ...; so is it permissible to shave this?

The Shaykh : ... it is not part of the beard, and this is a matter in which there is scholarly disagreement, and this is forbidden, that what is not part of the beard is permissible, but this philosophy that you mentioned ... this is a contradiction ... of the One who made your beard of different types and categories from the creation of Allah - Mighty and Majestic - , and as he said - peace and blessings be upon him - in some of the hadiths to one of the people when he saw his lower garment was long, so he ordered him to raise it, he said: O Messenger of Allah, I am a hunchback! ... Do you understand the meaning of the word hunchback? Good, he said: I am a hunchback! So he lengthens his lower garment to cover his hunchback. Then he said to him - peace and blessings be upon him - : And here is the point, and it is the reality ... that the masses ... overlook . So I see some people with a beard - what Allah willed! - beautiful, I see people’s beards are light ... , I see people plucking here and there ... , this is the creation of Allah! So this means that your command regarding what you mentioned is not advice to you, and I judge that he is not a scholar before I saw him, nor even a student of knowledge, but rather he followed his desires.

Another questioner : No, this is what they say in a way of mockery.

The Shaykh : I seek forgiveness from Allah!
...

The Shaykh : What is part of the beard is not permissible to shave, and what is not part of the beard ... .
