I have read all your Fataawa on the length of beard. My question is: Is it a 'sin', cutting beard short of one fist length or is it recommended and you get reward if you do so but no punishment if you don't? I know of many well-known and God-fearing scholars who have shorter beards. What is 'their' justification, if any, for doing so? Please give.. More
If a husband wants his wife to have a circumcision does she have to obey him? Or does she have the right to refuse because it should be her choice to decide what she does to her body? .. More
I would like to know whether the trimming or completely shaving of beard is allowed or no. I have read in one of your Fatwaas that it is Haraam to shave the beard. But I have seen many Egyptian Ulamah and Qaaris without beard or some having small beards like French, etc. Is the keeping of French beard allowed in Islam? I want to know why many.. More

I heard a Saudi Shaykh say on Iqra' TV that the Hadeeth concerning female circumcision are all weak or fabricated. This is contrary to what I know and what I have read about the issue.

You said in one of your Fatwa that the beard of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, was until his chest, and there are Hadeeth of the Sahaaba that they used to trim their beards that exceeded more than a fist's length? Why didn't the Sahaaba too imitate the Prophet, by letting their beards grow until their chests? Please do reply... More

But, your reply referring to Fatwa No. 84474 is not the answer to my question. I wish to know if this particular Hadeeth.. More
I'm an atheist and my wife is a Muslim. She wants me to have a circumcision in order to please here. My point is why should I? Why should I alter the body GOD gave me? It says that tattoos and other bodily markings are forbidden in the holy book. In addition I've heard men state that once cut they have erectile problems. Please advise... More
This is the 3rd or 4th time I am asking you this very same question; so, please do reply for the sake of Allaah. I wish to know the authenticity (Saheeh, Weak, Very Weak, Fabricated, ..) of the Hadeeth, which says that: Ibn 'Umar used to cut his beard when he went on Hajj or 'Umrah. I hope you reply this time, because it seems to be contradicting.. More
Please advice about the status (fabricated, weak, Saheeh...) of the below-mentioned Hadeeth, as I have heard in one of the lectures that this Hadeeth is very weak according to the group of Muhaddiseen, and that the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Sahaabaas never cut their beard. The Prophet ordered to forgive the beard (Afu al-lahya),.. More
