Question

If I have hairs with split ends in my beard and bite the split ends off is this a sin? People say that split ends hinders hair growth.

Answer

The beard holds an extremely important position in Deen. Hence you should refrain from cutting these split ends.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
