			There's a question, can Hanafi with with
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			bad beard jeans follow the Shafi'i position
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			on beards especially with respect
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			when people make fun of them? One can
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			clean up one's beard and, you know, trim
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			it from the sides, whatever, so it looks
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			dignified.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			But even the chafes,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			you know, shaving the beard is either prohibited
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			or blameworthy
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			across the schools. The chafes opinion is not
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			that of prohibition,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			but it's
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			still blameworthy and unbecoming
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			a male Muslim to to fully
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			shave their beard. There's an excellent
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			article by Sheikh Noor Keller on keeping the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			beard
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			and guidance related to that, I would recommend
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			that you seek that out. Sheikh Noor Keller,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			on on the beard. It's a it's an
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			excellent article by one of the truly distinguished
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			scholars of our times.
