Question:
In Shaf’i fiqh, is the Sunnah of beard fulfilled by keeping hair on jaw-bones and chin, but trimming them (both from jaw-bones and chin) to less than one’s fist. Can a Hanafi follow this position by making Talfiq (following Shafi school completely in matters of beard)?
Answer:
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
It would be fine to follow the position of other than the Hanafi Fiqh. You may trim your beard.
