What is the ruling regarding taking from the beard, even when it is little?
Question:
“He says: “What is the ruling regarding taking from the beard, even when it is little? And is it correct to use the action of Ibn ‘Umar (رضي الله عنهما) as a proof (for this)?
Answer:
“In any case, (what is) correct (is that) one should let the beard grow. However, the action of Ibn ‘Umar (رضي الله عنهما) is a proof that he saw it as permissible. The permissibility to take from the beard that which exceeds the fist. Many used this as proof and permitted the taking of the beard from what exceeds the fist. And others have said that it is more adequate to act according to the apparent meaning of the hadeeth (with regards to letting the beard grow), and both sides have their own valid Ijtihaad.”
