Question:
What is the ruling on shaving the beard? And what is the ruling on shaving the cheeks while leaving the beard and the mustache?
Answer:
Shaving the beard is not permissible, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the authentic hadith: It was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih.
The beard is what grows on the cheeks and the chin, as the author of al-Qamus clarified. Therefore, it is obligatory to leave the hair growing on the cheeks and the chin, and not to shave it or cut it. May Allah improve the condition of all the Muslims.
