The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the correct opinion?
The Shaykh : It is combing every day. Yes, it is prohibited. For this reason, the Sunnah is to do it every other day, meaning one day and then the next. Because combing every day leads to wasting time and to the heart becoming accustomed to this matter, which is beautifying the body and cleaning it. For this combing, without doubt, combing and grooming all involve perfuming the body and caring for it, and a person should not be one whose only concern is his body.
