Question
Some men have hair growing on their cheeks. Is it permitted to shave it or not?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.The hair on the cheeks is included in the ruling
on the beard. It is not permitted to remove it or shave it or cut it, because
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “Trim the moustache and let the beard grow: be different from
the mushrikeen.” Among those who have stated that the hair on the cheeks
is part of the beard are the authors of al-Qaamoos and al-Lisaan
[famous Arabic dictionaries].
