What is the ruling on removing the hair that grows on the cheeks?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the ruling on shaving the hair on the cheek?
The Shaykh : The scholars of language have stated that the beard is the hair of the face and the cheeks, so they considered the hair on the cheeks to be part of the beard. Accordingly, it is not permissible to shave it. Constantly plucking the hair makes it strong and grow quickly, whereas leaving it alone, if it is in an unusual place, may cause it to weaken and disappear. May Allah guide you.
