We have no report whatsoever that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not trim his beard.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, we have another issue, distinct from the question of whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) trimmed his beard or not. We have no report whatsoever that he did not trim it!
The questioner : Yes, yes, correct.
The Shaykh : So what do we say? It is reported, because "reported" means there is a narration, but it is not authentic. However, the opposite is the case, and this is from our agreement. But we do not use weak narrations as evidence. It is reported that he used to trim both the width and the length of it, and this is not correct!
