BEARD:<br />

20:94 - Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! seize (me not) by my beard nor by (the hair of) my<br />

Israel and thou didst not respect my word!'" 26182619<br />

Fiqh 1.22<br />

Letting one's beard grow and become thick<br />

This is a feature of dignity. It should not be cut so short that it appears like a shaved beard, nor should it be left so long that it<br />

becomes untidy. It is also a sign of manhood. Says al-Bukhari, "Whenever Ibn 'Umar made the hajj or 'umrah, he would hold<br />

his beard in his fist and, whatever exceeded his fist, he would cut off."<br />

Fiqh 1.31<br />

Running one's fingers through his beard<br />

'Aishah reported that the Messenger of Allah would run his fingers through his beard. (Related by Ibn Majah and at-Tirmidhi,<br />

who classified it as sahih . )<br />

Anas said that when the Messenger of Allah performed ablution, he would take a handful of water and put it under his jaws<br />

and pass it through his beard. He said, "This is what my Lord, Allah, ordered me to do." (Related by Abu Dawud, al-Baihaqi<br />

and al-Hakim.)<br />

Caring for the Hair<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn Yasar told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless<br />

him and grant him peace, was in the mosque when a man came in with dishevelled hair and beard. The Messenger of Allah.<br />

may Allah bless him and grant him peace, motioned with his hand that he should be sent out to groom his hair and beard.<br />

The man did so and then returned. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Isn't this better<br />

than that one of you should come with his head dishevelled, as if he were a shaytan?"<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.22a<br />

Oiling and combing one's hair<br />

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet, upon whom be peace, as saying, "Whoever has hair should honor it." (Related by Abu<br />

Dawud.)<br />

Said 'Ata ibn Yasar, "A man came to the Prophet with unkempt hair and an untidy beard. The Prophet pointed to him, as if<br />

ordering him to straighten his hair and beard. He did so and returned. Thereupon the Prophet observed, 'Is that not better<br />

than one of you coming with his hair unkempt, as if he were a devil?"' (Related by Malik.)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 7.780 Narrated by<br />

Nafi<br />

Ibn Umar said: The Prophet said, "Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the moustaches short."<br />

Whenever Ibn 'Umar performed the Hajj or 'Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever moustaches. Ibn<br />

Umar used to cut his moustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut<br />

(the hair) between his moustaches and his beard.<br />
