If some hairs appear that differ in color from the beard, is it permissible to pluck them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, growing the beard and plucking what is not normal hair in it.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Its color differs from the color of the beard, as if the beard were red?
The Shaykh : Say gray hair as well.
The questioner : Or gray hair.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to pluck it.
The questioner : All right, his beard is, for example, blond, and there is, for example, black or white hair in it, or something other than gray.
The Shaykh : By nature?
The questioner : That is, it is, for example, a color different from the color.The Shaykh : Meaning Allah made its color, for example, blond?The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no harm; let it remain blond.
The questioner : No, I mean, Shaykh! His beard is, for example, black, and some red hairs appeared in it. If he were to remove them, for example.
The Shaykh : No, no, absolutely not permissible. This is part of plucking the eyebrows; plucking the eyebrows is plucking the hair of the face. How much more so if it is the beard? Then, if he plucks this red hair and a red hair appears tomorrow, will he pluck it or not? If he plucks it and the second, third, and fourth appear, because perhaps he will be afflicted and much of this hair will come out, and then it returns, and he ends up with no beard at all. Let it be as it is, and know that you may be embarrassed at first when it appears in your beard, but after that the situation will settle down.
And with this, this meeting ends, and until a future meeting, if Allah wills, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And Glory is to You, O our Lord, and with Your praise. I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.
