Answer 2

Shaykh 'Alee Hasan al-Halabee

Hukm-ud-Deen fil-Lihyaa wat-Tadkheen (pg. 29-32)

The majority of the scholars of Fiqh have asserted the forbiddance of shaving the beard. Some of them have stated that it is makrooh (disliked), however this ruling would be applied many times by them to forbidden things. This is because the people (scholars) of the past would designate the term makrooh (disliked) for Haraam (unlawful), as has been transmitted from them in the books of Usool-ul-Fiqh (The Principles of Jurisprudence). [1]

1. The great scholar, Ibn Hazm Al-Andalusee said: “They – i.e. the Imaams – have unanimously agreed that shaving the beard is disfiguring (of Allaah’s creation) and it is not permissible.” [2]

2. Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah said: “Shaving the beard is unlawful (Haraam).” [3]

3. Ibn ‘Aabideen, from the notables amongst the Hanafee scholars – said: “It is forbidden for the man to cut his beard – i.e. to shave it.” [4]

4. Al-‘Adawee, one of the elite among the Maalikee scholars, said: “It has been quoted from Maalik that he considered it makrooh (disliked) to shave what was below the palate, such that he said: ‘It is from the actions of the Majoos (fire-worshippers)…likewise it is forbidden to stop the growth of the beard.” [5]

Ibn ‘Abdil-Barr said in At-Tamheed: “It is forbidden to shave the beard. And no one does it except for those effeminate ones amongst the men.” [6]

5. Shaikh Ahmad bin Qaasim Al-‘Ibaadee, one of the prestigious Shaafi’ee scholars, said: “Ibn Ar-Rif’ah said in Haashiyat-ul-Kaafiyah: ‘Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee stated in (his book) Al-Umm that it is forbidden to shave the beard. Likewise, Az-Zarkashee, Al-Hulaymee in Shu’ab-ul-Eemaan, and his teacher, Al-Qaffaal Ash-Shaashee in Mahaasin Ash-Sharee’ah, stated that it was forbidden to shave the beard.” [7]

6. As-Safaareenee, one of the notables amongst the Hanbalee scholars, said: “The view that is approved of and sanctioned in the (Hanbalee) madh-hab is: The forbiddance of shaving the beard.” [8]

7. Many of the contemporary scholars have ruled that shaving the beard is forbidden, such as:

‘Abdul-Jaleel ‘Eesaa, ‘Alee Mahfoodh, ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz, Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee, Muhammad Sultaan Al-Ma’soomee, Ahmad ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Bannaa As-Sa’aatee (watch-repairer), Abu Bakr Al-Jazaa’iree, Al-Kandahlaawee, ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Qaasim, Isma’eel Al-Ansaaree and many others.

Answer 3

I say the beard or having facial hair has nothing to do with how much faith is in your heart.. You can have all the trapping or decorations on your body as you want, but its all up to whats in your heart..

besides.. Is Allah holding anything against those races that cannot grow facial hair?

"The best of you in Allahs eyes, is the best in his faith".....  

Answer 4

No, nothing like that can be a ''farz''.  

Answer 5

No, it is only a Sunnah. It is encouraged for Muslim men to keep beards, and if better untrimmed ones like the beard of the Prophet (pbuh). You can see that many people here have given you Hadiths about this.

Answer 6

from what i have read in islamic books that it is fard and you should trim it. its fard because the prophet (saws) said that we should distinguish ourselves form the unbelivers  

Answer 7

It is not a Fardh. It can or cannot be regarded as a Sunnah. The prophet (pbuh) told Muslims to keep it in order to separate them from the other people of that time (I think the Magians).

For Abul Harith:

If shaving the beard is changing Allah's creation, what about circumcision and trimming the mustache?

Answer 8

The Prophet was in competition with the Pagan religions, and so told people to keep beards and do the opposite.

There's no real reason for it. It's just a political tact.

Answer 9

Its a good thing

Any age I would hope

ha my brother has had a beard since he was 11  

Answer 10

Having beard is not Farz it is Sunnat.You can keep it at any age.

Answer 11

It is sunnah :

Narrated Nafi': Ibn Umar said, The Prophet said, 'Do the opposite of what the pagans do. keep the beards and cut the mustaches short.' Whenever Ibn 'Umar performed the Hajj or 'Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever mustaches. Ibn Umar used to cut his mustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut (the hair) between his mustaches and his beard.  (Book #72, Hadith #780)

Answer 12

"Growing a beard is considered a great Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is also one of the great legacies inherited from all of the previous prophets and messengers of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us: “Grow your beards and trim or clip the moustaches.” In light of such precedents, most of the past scholars and Imams go as far as declaring that growing a beard is obligatory on males (Fard).

Since beard is undoubtedly a great Sunnah, every Muslim male should try to practice this Sunnah according to the best of his ability. Allah does not take us to task for what is beyond our power or ability. We are told to fear Allah as best as we can."

as for the limit, it is inasmuch as how much could you grip of the beard with your hand, the rest out of hair can be trimmed.

it can be grown at the age when you become fully adult which is the same age you are responsible for your deeds in Islam.
