Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Ahmad Ibrahim from Riyadh says: Is the beard intended to be the hair that grows on the beard, or all that grows on the face and neck, or what is connected to the neck? And does a man have any obligation if he shaves the hair from his neck, his cheek, and his jaw, O honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
The beard is what grows on the cheeks and the chin; this is the beard, as the author of the Qamus and Lisan al-Arab stated: the beard is the hair growing on the cheeks and the chin. This is the beard. It is not permissible to cut it or shave it. As for what grows on the neck, no, it is not part of the beard. The hair on the neck is not part of the beard. Yes.
