I feel that the beardless Qari is being very disrespectful to\u00a0Rasulullah (SallallahuAlayhiWasallam) and just because of that I feel that it is improper to listen or praise him. Listening will cause me to praise him. I heard some Aalims saying that shaving the beard is putting a blade in the heart of\u00a0Rasulullah (SallallahuAlayhiWasallam).

The importance and benefits of keeping a beard have been recorded in many sayings from The Prophet (<strong>\ufdfa<\/strong>). He repeatedly instructed the growing of a beard, and his own habitual and continuous practice was that of growing a full beard.

The Mujtahideen and the Fuqaha have decreed that it is wajib (compulsory) to keep a beard, as there is a common order mentioned in the Hadith proving wujoob (compulsion).

The most important aspect of the beard is the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). We should strive to at least adopt the outer features of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and to make our faces resemble in some way the Mubaarak and blessed face of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Consider the following verse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064f\u0633\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0629\u064c \u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Translation: <em>There is definitely a beautiful (hasan) example in Allah\u2019s Rasul (sallAllahu \u2018alayhi wa sallam).

Guidelines regarding a person\u2019s outer appearance, form and clothing are contained in the teachings of Islam. A true and complete Muslim is he who adheres to these Islamic teachings and practices upon them. While Allah the Almighty is aware of our inner qualities, there is a social need for our outer condition to be correct. Therefore, the claim of having complete Islam or love of the Prophet <strong>\ufdfa<\/strong> or the Quraan without one\u2019s outer condition being proper is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the 4 Madhahib (schools of thought) agree that it is impermissible to trim or shave the beard to less than 1 fist length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One who commits a wrong and sins openly, including the shaving of beard is a Faasiq.
