Most Islamic scholars and schools of thought agree that the mustache should be faded or trimmed to ensure hygienic practice so the hair does not touch the lip. Along the lines of hygiene, Muslim men are also instructed to keep their beards at an appropriate length, which, according to Abu Huraira is a fist length. Chin scruff and light stubble do not cut it.
I think he himself should start practicing what he says.
Thanks for chaning the Headline CD.
CD, very wicked you are. On headlines it says UP Wakf Board and on the inside it is UP Shia Wakf board. Shias are simply not Muslims. Infact their religion is Shiaism!
This man seems to be no knowledge of Islam and got highest postion in the waqf board.
The hadees clearly says, GROW THE BEARD AND SHORTEN TEH MOUTACHE.
Shorten how much., it can go interpreted to minimal length of zero.
How does a man look like terrorist by shaving anything. A man with longer moustache really look like terrorist, that is the reason, it is much encouraged or practiced in military and police.
Some smaller ranked police constable even though they are very slim they look fearful with moustache.
I dont give my own fatwa or decree but wrongly and Misguiding religious ruling is worst than anything.
Those who misguide in the name of Hadees and Quran are more punishable as per Hadees.
May Allah guide him and all to understand and pracice the truth.
