A woman grew a beard, so should she shave it off?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman grew a beard, or did hair grow on her face?
The Shaykh : Health and wellness.
The questioner : Meaning, she does not remove it.
The Shaykh : Health and wellness... He says, "I was busy beginning the investigation of Ibn Kathir's Tafsir to distinguish authentic hadiths from weak ones, but one of the noble brothers, may Allah reward him with good, suggested to me that I review the book *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah* by Shaykh Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani, because it contains weak hadiths and people take them with complete confidence, believing them to be verified and authentic. This is a grave danger. So I turned the pages of *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah* and found weak hadiths in it, so I resolved, if Allah wills, to collect them and then print them to clarify them for the people. I felt that it is a great matter to judge a weak hadith as authentic and an authentic hadith as weak." He says, "I pledge to Allah that I will be neutral in my scientific investigation and fair, and it is regrettable and sad that some people—and look at the exaggeration and extremism—some people swear allegiance to the religions of the imams of their madhhabs and the sheikhs of their tariqas, and even submit their scientific investigations to that..."
