Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been told by my local ‘ulamaa that it is waajib for the length of the beard to be a fist length all the way around. However, when trying to explain this to others, they tell me that there is no authentic hadith that specifies such a length. They say the hadith only mentions for a Muslim male to lengthen his beard and trim his moustache and that it doesn’t say anything about the desired length being a fist length… is there any tafsir to this hadith or any other hadith which specifies that it is waajib for a Muslim male to grow a fist length beard all the way around?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ibn Umar(RA) said The Prophet (SAW) said, ‘Do the opposite of what the Mushrikeen do. lengthen the beards and cut the moustaches short.’ Whenever Ibn `Umar performed the Hajj or Umrah, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever remained outside his hold.[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From this hadith and the similar practice from Abu Huraira, we see that it is permissible to cut the beard, once it has grown longer than a fist’s length.[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From this, we can conclude that it is permissible for you to trim the beard when it is more than a fist length. However, if it is less than a fist, it will be best to refrain from trimming it in order to not go against what the Prophet(SAW) has mentioned of lengthening the beard<\/span><\/p>\n
