Sometimes the growth of the beard is sparse, so is it permissible to treat it so that all the hair grows and its growth becomes complete?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
In it, O Shaykh, now in the latest containers, you know the trials and medicines have appeared. It is said to you, for example: if the beard has spots on the face and is not complete or abundant, it is said that there is a treatment by which it is treated, so it becomes complete and becomes like you, so is this permissible or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning, it is said that sometimes the growth of the beard is sparse on the cheeks, and perhaps there is a beard on the cheeks but the chin, which is the junction of the two beards, has nothing in it. The important thing is, it is said, is it permissible for a person to try to grow the hair that has not grown?
We say: if its growth is expected to happen by itself, then he should not try, because this is not a defect, since many young men in the beginning of their beard growth do not have the beard grow evenly all at once, so he waits.
But if it is a defect such that we know and are certain that it will not grow by itself, then there is no blame on him to treat it so that the rest comes out, especially if it is disfiguring.
But if it is not disfiguring, then it is better that he not treat it with anything, because I fear that this is of the kind of joining (hair) in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who joins and the one who has it joined. Yes, did you understand the answer now?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
