Is cutting the beard obligatory? And is Ibn 'Umar's trimming of the beard only in Hajj and 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding cutting the beard, there are two questions. Is it obligatory? The first question is: Did Ibn 'Umar do this act in Hajj and 'Umrah?
The Shaykh : One by one, one question at a time. Your first question: Is it obligatory?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is obligatory that you remember with me the Salafi principle. If you do not memorize it, then memorize it, and it is: "Every good is in following those who came before, and every evil is in following those who came after." So, is the first question obligatory, and the second?
The questioner : In Hajj and 'Umrah, did Ibn 'Umar do this act in Hajj and 'Umrah?
The Shaykh : It is established from him that he did that absolutely, and he did it in Hajj and 'Umrah. It is also established from Abu Hurayrah and others without any restriction. Perhaps you understood, or perhaps something was missed?
The questioner : I missed the fly, that's all.
The Shaykh : I see the fly...
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that the topic of your questions number one and two is finished, and the answer is clear.
The questioner: Yes.
