What is the standard for letting the beard grow and its length?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, letting the beard hang down when it becomes long so that it drags on the ground is acting in accordance with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): This is authentic.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh, but did the practice of this letting it grow continue? No.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : So from this, we say that whoever this proof reached and then contradicted it afterwards, we say yes, he is in the Fire, because he contradicted the practice of the righteous predecessors. Perhaps this has become clear to you.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
And let the beards grow
وأعفوا اللحىThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh
And let the beards grow

The Shaykh : So from this, we say that whoever this proof reached and then contradicted it afterwards, we say yes, he is in the Fire, because he contradicted the practice of the righteous predecessors. Perhaps this has become clear to you.
