The Ruling on Lengthening the Beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It was said to Khalid, one of the hadith critics, why did you not narrate from Majdala ibn Sa'id? He said: because he had a long beard.
The student : Strange.
The Shaykh : This is... significant. Majdala ibn Sa'id was from the generation of the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions). In the time of the Tabi'un, they would rebuke the one who lengthened his beard. So, is lengthening the beard a recommended practice (sunnah)?
The student : Yes.
