Shaving the beard

24-4-2004 | IslamWeb

Question:

What is Islamic ruling of a Muslim who does not keep his beard in the way of Sunnah and shave part of the face and leaves the Jaw and many other ways for fashion?

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

 

The hair that grows on the cheek is part of the beard; this is the opinion of the majority of Muslim scholars.

As for more details in this subject, please read the Fatawa: 81533 and 81978.

 

Allah knows best.
