The ruling on taking a handful from the beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Ibn 'Umar that mentions the handful?
Answer:
This is from his practice; this is an error. This is from his action and his independent legal reasoning. The correct view is to let it grow, and nothing should be taken from it, even if it exceeds a handful. His independent legal reasoning (may Allah have mercy on him) contradicts what has been transmitted. Therefore, one should not take what exceeds a handful... The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be left to grow and hang down. As for Ibn 'Umar's action during Hajj, that was from his independent legal reasoning, and the scholars corrected him in this (may Allah have mercy on him) .
