What is the ruling on one who insults his brother regarding his beard?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on one who insults the beard?

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : A man insulted another man who has a beard; he insulted him regarding his beard?

The Shaykh : This requires a detailed explanation. If he insulted him for his adherence to the Shari'ah, then he has insulted the Shari'ah, and he must repent to Allah for this. And if he insulted him with a personal insult...

The questioner : ...such as if he said, "May Allah curse your beard"?

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah! Who created the beard?

The questioner : The Creator of the beard is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).

The Shaykh : Well, then it means he insulted Allah, and he must repent. But in my opinion, this does not occur except in extreme anger. Some people, in truth, when they become angry, do not know what they are saying, so there is nothing on him for that. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised leaving anger when
A man came to him and said: "Advise me." He said: "Do not become angry." He said: "Advise me." He said: "Do not become angry." He said: "Advise me." He said: "Do not become angry." He repeated this several times, saying: "Do not become angry." جاءه الرّجل يقول: أوصني قال: لا تغضب قال: أوصني، قال: لا تغضب، قال: أوصني، قال: لا تغضب فردّد مرارا وقال: لا تغضب
, because anger is an ember that Satan throws into the heart of a man, causing his blood to boil and he does not know what he is saying. So it is obligatory for a person, when he feels anger, to spit to his left and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. After that, to his left?
