Is it COMPULSARY to grow a beard in Islam ?
Thats the question here. The High Court ruled that it was not.
Hence he has gone to the SC.
Let the SC rule on this - there is no higher court in this land.
yes it is mandatory in Islam bcz Muhammad SAW 0rdered Muslims to grow beard.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: "Allah's Apostle said, 'Cut
the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it
is).' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Dress, Volume
7, Book 72, Number 781)"
and as a muslim we have t0 0bey what 0ur bel0ved pr0phet said and did.
Narrated Anas: "Allah's Apostle was neither very
tall nor short, neither absolutely white nor deep
brown. His hair was neither curly nor lank. Allah
sent him (as an Apostle) when he was forty years
old. Afterwards he resided in Mecca for ten years
and in Medina for ten more years. When Allah
took him unto Him, there was scarcely twenty
white hairs in his head and beard. (Translation
of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues and Merits of the
Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions, Volume 4,
Book 56, Number 748) .
