Speaking about tying the beard and curling the hair, or the reverse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And this supports the viewpoint I was stating, which I derived from the general texts, and up to this point there is something resembling a specific text in "Sunan Abu Dawud," which is authentic, of course. Mishkat al-Masabih 351 The point is he said, "He treats it until it becomes tied and curled," and this contradicts the Sunnah, which is to let the beard hang loose.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And you know, today they do it with the hair.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And also, what do they call it, the wavy dye, what do they call it.
The questioner : The mesh.
The Shaykh : The mesh. So I used to say that it is prohibited, on the basis that it is altering the creation of Allah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And here, tying the beard means not letting it hang loose to leave it as Allah created it, but rather intending to curl it. I think everyone with a problem, whether their hair is coarse and they try to make it hang down,
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : or straight and they try to make it tied,
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : or layered, or something similar. So this hadith prohibits this thing regarding the beard, but there is no difference today; the operative cause between the beard hair and the head hair is the same...
You may live for a long time after I am gone, Ruwaifi', so tell people that if anyone ties his beard, or wears round his neck a string to ward off the evil eye, or cleanses himself with animal dung or bone, Muhammad has nothing to do with him.
يا رويفع لعل الحياة ستطول بك بعدي فأخبر الناس أن من عقد لحيته أو تقلد وترا أو استنجى برجيع دابة أو عظم فإن محمدا بريء منهTying his beard
