Keeping a goatee beard
Question
Is trimming the beard to a goatee haraam? I am 17 years old and I don’t have a full beard yet, there are just some little peach fuzz hairs coming from my sides. Is it ok if I shave it to a goatee?
Answer
The hair that grows on the jaw bone cannot be shaved or trimmed before it reaches a fist length.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
