◾️Is it permissible to shave the mustache?◾️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him -

📝🔹Question:

Is it permissible to shave the mustache?

📩🔸Answer:

The subject of shaving the mustache or trimming it, is a place of differing with the people of knowledge:

Some of the Haniffiyah see shaving it to be better due to the Hadith:

(انهكوا الشوارب)
"Reduce the mustache"

And the Hadith:

(حفوا الشوارب)
"(Excessively) trim the mustache"

And the Hadith:

(جزوا الشوارب)
"Cut the mustache"

And these wordings point towards overemphasised cutting of the mustache hair.

What's most correct in the mad-hab of the Hanafiyyah and mad-hab of the Shāfi'iyyah is the preference to trimming the mustache, due to the Hadith:

(وتقصير الشارب)
"Shortening of the mustache"

And upon this narration is what the wording (الحف) and (الجز) and (النهك) is understood to mean trimming due to generality of the words, and (الجز) to mean cutting at the borders.

As for Mālik; he took the position of prohibition of shaving.

As for Ahmed; then he saw both to be fine.

What's closer to the evidences at reconciling them all with each other is: shortening.

If the intent was shaving then it would of clearly been said:

(احلقوا الشوارب)
"Shave the mustache"

Even a single narration.

As is the case regarding the pubic hair, due to what is requested in its regard being shaving, it was clearly mentioned in a narration:

(حلق العانة)
"Shaving the pubic hair"

And similarly at the preference of shaving the head at the rituals of Hajj and 'Umrah:

(رحم الله المحلقين)
"May Allah have mercy on those that have shaved (their heads)"

As for the mustache, with the fact that the narrations are many and the wordings differ, there is not one authentic narration mentioning the word shaving, and Allah is the most wise and knows best.

And this position was prevailed by Al-Albāni, may Allah have mercy upon him, in his book "Ādāb-uz-Zafāf", he said:

"His ﷺ statement:

(أنهكوا الشوارب)
"Reduce the mustache" means overemphasised trimming, and similarly:

(جزوا)
"Cut"

What's intended is overemphasised cutting what passes unto the lips, not shaving the mustache entirely, because this is contrary to the established practiced Sunnah from him ﷺ.

For this when Mālik was asked concerning those that excessively trim their mustache: I see them deserving to be hit, and regarding those that shave their mustache: this is an innovation which appeared amongst the people.

Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, and look in "Fath-ul-Bāri" (285-286/10).

For this reason Mālik would grow his mustache, and when he was asked about this, he would say:

"I was informed by Zayd bin Aslam, from 'Āmir bin 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, that when 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, used to get angry he would twist his mustache and puff."

Reported by At-Tabarāni in "Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabīr" with an authentic chain of narration, and he and Abu Zur'ah narrated in his "Tārīkh", and Al-Bayhaqi: five of the companions would cut off their mustaches at the edge of the lip, and its chain of narration is Hassan (decent)."

◾Miscellaneous benefits◾️

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him -
⤵️
🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸

Benefit: The greatest expiator of sins is Tawhīd.

Benefit: The smallest of expiations of sins is by removing a harm from the pathways.

Benefit: The woman who quenched the thirst of a dog, this was a cause and a means for her forgiveness and guidance, Allāh granted her success to a righteous action.

And a disobedient person could do a righteous action and it could be a means and a cause for his guidance.

Benefit: Ibn 'Abdil-Barr, may Allāh have mercy on him, said: "Everyone who innovates in this religion then he is from those that are expelled." [meaning from the Hawdh (fountain of the Prophet ﷺ)]

Shaykh Yahya, may Allāh preserve him, said: "This benefit is to be memorised."

Benefit: Intentionally repeating the Fātihah in Salāh nullifies the Salāh, and if he was to have wiswās (from the Shaytān in doing so) then there is nothing upon him.

Benefit: The people of Jannah will see their mothers, and other than them, from the believers.

Benefit: Drinking water in the circles of knowledge is not considered bad manners, there is nothing preventing this.

Benefit: Frankincense helps in (strengthening) memory but if (consumed) in abundance it could lead to leprosy.

Benefit: Our Shaykh Yahya, may Allāh preserve him, sees the correct opinion to be that the Hawdh (fountain) is one fountain for all nations and that the hadiths which mention that all Prophets have a Hawdh are not free from weakness.

Benefit: The one who has memorised the most of the Qurān and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ leads (in Salāh) whether they be residents or travellers and if he is disabled in the leg then he is to pray sitting and those praying behind to stand.

Benefit: Dhikr is not considered dhikr except by moving the lips, and likewise (reading) the Qurān, and also the one who prays and doesn't move his lips, not in the Fātihah or other than it his Salāh is not accepted.

Benefit: Having an abortion if the soul has been blown into the fetus is considered murder.

Benefit: There is nothing equal to the companionship of the Messenger ﷺ.

Benefit: Suratul-Baqarah was called with this name due to the mention of the verse of the cow and likewise Suratul-Aāl-i-'Imrān and Al-Mā'idah and Al-An'ām and Al-A'rāf, and perhaps a Surah could have more than one name, and the surah with the most names is Al-Fātihah.

Benefit: Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned regarding Ibn Sīnā being an heretic.

Benefit: Repaying debts in the masjid is allowed as in the hadith of Ka'b: "Half O Ka'b..." - the hadith

Benefit: An-Nawawi has skill in (making) good summarisations.

Benefit: The fiqh of Bukhāri in his chaptering.

Benefit: The Prophet ﷺ seeking refuge is a matter of teaching his ummah because he is protected from the jinn and humans. For verily in the two Sahihs on the authority of Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Last night an 'Ifrīt from the Jinns came to me to disturb my prayer, but Allāh gave me the power to overcome him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the masjid...." - the hadith.

And the Messenger ﷺ is not protected from annoyance as it comes in the story of the Jewish woman who put poison in the food but it didn't harm him and also the harm of the idolaters when they broke his tooth and cut his face on the day of Uhud, and in Makkah when they threw intestines on his back while he was prostrating ﷺ.

And Allāh knows best.

With this you come to know that the one who has married more than one woman, one of his wives has numerous children, whilst the other does not have any. Then it is not obligatory to be equal between them in spending, rather it is only obligatory to be just with them. Justice is that you give each one of them from amongst them that which suffices her and suffices her children.

A woman who is alone (without children) is sufficed with that which the one who has children is not sufficed with, for that reason each one is given that which suffices her and her children and this is justice.

◾What NOT to do if you are unable to offer an udhea ◾

Our Shaykh Abū Bilāl Al-Hadaramī - may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question on 13th Shawāl 1441H (5th June 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says:

There are some people in India who are unable to offer an 'udhea' (sacrificial animal) yet refrain from (cutting) their hair and nails. On the day of 'Eid they cut (their hair and nails) and say: "This is equal to an udhea". Is this action correct?

📩🔸Answer:

This action is a bid'ah.

If you are unable to offer an 'udhea' then you are not obliged to do anything instead because Islamic Law has not come with a replacement.

Adopting a replacement is a bid'ah and an addition to the religion. (The specific ruling of) the udhea is dependent only upon ones capacity and capability and alongside this are the general supportive evidences:

《لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ 》
Allāh does not burden a soul except with what it can bare.
(Al-Baqarah 2:286)

《لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَاۚ 》
Allāh does not burden a soul except with what he has given it.
(At-Talāq 65:7)

《فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ 》
Then be dutiful to Allāh as much as you are able to.
(At-Taghābun 64:16)

It is mustahab (recommended) according to the correct view amongst the majority of the scholars.

The Prophet ﷺ certainly said:
[وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَنْ شَعَرِهِ، وَأَظْفَارِهِ ".]
And if one of you intends to offer an 'udhea'; let him refrain from (cutting) his hair and nails. [1]

He did not say: "And if one does not offer an 'udhea' then he may compensate by refraining (from cutting his hair and nails) and this will take the place of the udhea".

This is an innovation and an addition to the religion.

Allah, The Sublime, says,

‎و ذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين

“And remind for indeed the reminder benefits the believers.” [51:55]

We all need reminders here and there about the importance of looking to who we take our religion [i.e. knowledge] from since this knowledge is the basis of our religion. If we aren’t correct in learning it according to how the righteous predecessors of the scholars [the Salaf] learnt it, then we are at a loss, as Allah, The Most High,
said,
‎الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا

“Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works.” [18:104]

In fact, from the four matters that the servant will be asked about on the Day wherein no wealth or children can be of benefit to him if he fails to answer is regarding his knowledge [i.e did he learn it correctly and did he act accordingly].

So let us all be honest to ourselves and ask ourselves: are we really pleasing Allah by being lenient in this matter by taking knowledge from everyone who is brought forward to speak about the Deen of Allah?!

We shouldn’t be like sheep in this matter to the point that we are easily led by numbers or by the majority.

Allah, The Most High, said in His Noble Book,
‎وإن تطع أكثر من في الأرض يضلوك عن سبيل الله

“And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah’s Path.” [6:116]

Likewise, we shouldn’t make the eloquence of the speaker our criteria that decides for us whether we should listen to him or not, since it is possible that the worst of the people can also be eloquent in speech, as Allah describes the hypocrites,

‎وإذا رأيتهم تعجبك أجسامهم وإن يقولوا تسمع لقولهم

“And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words.” [63:4]

Therefore, they beautify their speech and they show beautiful mannerisms outwardly and behind all of that is deception and plotting that plunges one into fitnah. The common excuse that we hear at times is, “I need an eeman booster, thus I listen to any speaker.” This is not correct at all since many of us have witnessed the opposite. We’ve seen many become polluted with confusion and doubts in their religion due to them giving their ears to everyone. We should be more stern about this matter similar to how the righteous predecessors were.

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar (rahimahullaah) said,
“The happy one is the one who clings unto that which the righteous predecessors were upon and avoids that which the latter ones have newly invented.”

End translation. [Fathul-Baari (Page: 253, Vol. 13)]

And due to some assuming that it is a form of extremism to be strict regarding who you should take your knowledge from, they have now become victims in the aftermath of such fitnahs, which is quite sad and Allah’s aid is sought.
