Is keeping of a beard compulsory for men?
Q: My cousin wanted to know that keeping beard is compulsory for muslim men? Is there no excuse of not keeping it? If his wife does not want him to keep and she doesn't feel attracted towards her husband in beard then is it permissible to not grow beard. Because there are excuses for men if he doesn't feel attracted towards his wife in joint heavy big eyebrows then she can trim it for the sake of her husband. But why the same rule doesn't applies to a lady? Kya shariat se koi gunjaish nahi hai for not keeping beard?
A: According to the Ulama it is waajib to grow the beard to the extent of one fist from all sides. Cutting or trimming it less than a fist is impermissible. It is impermissible for the
husband to shave his beard or trim it in order to please his wife. Hereunder are a few ahaadeeth relating to the beard.
It is reported in the Hadith that two Persian messengers (who were sent from the Persian king Kisraa with a message for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) once came to Madinah Munawwarah. They both had shaved their beards and lengthened their moustaches. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was displeased to see them in this condition. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam then asked them "Who had commanded you to shave off your beards and lengthen your moustaches?" They replied, "Our king Kisraa had commanded us to do this". Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam then said,"My Lord had commanded me to lengthen the beard and shorten the moustache"
Hadhrat Ibn Umar (Radiyallahu Anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) commanded the trimming of the moustache and the lengthening of the beard.
Hadhrat A'isha (Radiyallahu Anha) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "Ten actions are from among the Sunnah (which were practised by the Ambiya of the past) shortening the moustache, lengthening the beard, using the Miswaak, cleaning the nose with water, paring the nails, washing in between the fingers and limbs, plucking the hair under the armpits, removing the pubic hair and making istinjaa at the time of relieving oneself".
It is reported from Ibn Umar Radiallahu Anhu that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalllam Said, "Oppose the non Muslims by lengthening the beard and shortening the moustaches." Ibn Umar Radiallahu Anhu used to trim his beard after it reached a fist length. -
