Q259: Ruling of lengthening beard

Question

is it necessary for one to grow beard. Can a Muslim be a good practising Muslim without beard.

Answer

In the Hadeeth the Prophet (saw) has ordered us to keep a beard, so you will only be classed as fully practising when you abide by this instruction as well. Keeping a proper beard is wajib like Eid salah sadaqa-e-fitr and qurbani are all wajib.
