Najafi Q&A: shaving beard and hair

Answer

In the name of Allah, the obligation in ghusl is to wash the skin. As for the hair, if the removal of the hair is necessary for purifying the area, then it must be removed, although this is a rare situation. Allah knows best.

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is established that what is required is for the beard to be of a length that allows it to be combed. Allah knows best.

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is prohibited to completely shave the beard. It is obligatory for the beard to remain around the chin entirely, and the length of the hair should be enough to comb it. Anything less than that is not sufficient. This ruling applies to non-religious individuals. As for a religion scholar, his beard must be complete, not only around the chin. Allah knows best.

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is not permissible to shave off the chin area and its surroundings, and the hair should be kept at a length that can be moved and combed with a comb. Yes, it is permissible to shave the sideburns for someone who is not a religious scholar. Allah knows best.
