📖 1 min readعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «أحْفُوا الشَّوَارِبَ وأَعْفُوا اللِّحَى».
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Trim the mustaches and let the beards grow."
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoins that the mustache should be trimmed and not be left to grow; rather, it should be cut, and this should be done to a great extent. On the other hand, he enjoins that the beard should be left to grow long.
