Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on leaving the mustache and cutting the beard?
This is not permissible. It is obligatory to let the beard grow and leave it as is, and cutting the mustache is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah).And for this reason it came in the hadith: (Whoever does not trim his mustache is not one of us) So some scholars held that trimming the mustache is obligatory.And he said: Leaving the trimming of the mustache is among the major sins; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) disavowed it, and Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) explicitly stated this.He said: Letting the beard grow and trimming the mustache is obligatory.
