The Law Of Cutting Jenggots In Islam: Haram, Makruh, Or Sunnah?

YOGYAKARTA Jenggot is a hair that grows on a man's chin, cheeks, or neck. Jenggots can grow in various shapes and lengths, and are often kept or shaved according to certain personal preferences or mode trends. Some cultures or religions also have special views or traditions related to maintenance or beard cuts, including Islam. So, how is the law of cutting beards in Islam?

According to Muhammadiyah's official website, the Prophet Muhammad SAW advised Muslim men to maintain beards.

In the hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim with the sanad Ibnu Umar RA, Rasulullah SAW said:

Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, let's talk about it.

Meaning: "Be different you (don't match) with musyrik people, keep your beard, and shave the mustache.' (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).

From the hadiths above it can be concluded that Muslim men are ordered to maintain beards and shave mustaches.

Not only that, the order of the Prophet SAW also contains elements of the education of Muslims so that they have their own personalities, both born and inner from others such as infidels.

Birthless differences will represent the identity of a people, where in this case beards become the identity or characteristics of Muslim men.

However, that does not mean that a Muslim cannot shave or cut his beard that has been decomposed long.

Jengggots that look not neat can be shaved or tidied up. This is based on the hadith narrated by Imam at-Tirmidzi which he values gharib. The hadith reads:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Meaning: "We have reported to us that Umar bin Harun from Usamah bin Zaid from Amru bin Syuaib from his grandfather, that the Prophet SAW cut part of his beard to the same length." (HR. at-Timidzi).

Terkait hal ini, para ulama, baik mutaqaddimim (terbelumnya) maupun mutaakhirin (later) banyak yang berbeda pendapat.

Ulama-ulama bermazhab Hanafi dan Hanbali dengan tegas menyatakan bahwa haram hukumnya seorang Muslim menghapus beardnya hingga habis, bahkan ia bisa dituntut diyat (denda/tebusan).

Meanwhile, Syafi'I and Maliki scholars said that the law of shaving the beard until it finished was makhruh.

On the other hand, cutting off advantages and tidying up beards is a good deed. Allowing it for a month is chaotic, such as cutting and cutting it.

Not only that, the scholars also have different opinions about the length of the beard that must be cut, even though there is a history that tells that Abu Hurairah and Abdullah bin Umar usually trim their beards when the length has exceeded one hand.

However, some scholars do not set a certain length, quite a proper cut. Hasan al-Bashri, a tabi'in used to trim and shave his beard until it looked appropriate and neat.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that the law of cutting part of the beard is a mubah. While shaving until the law is exhausted, it does not reach an illegal degree. The legal beard is sunnah.

That's information about the law of cutting beards in Islam. Hopefully this article can add insight to the loyal readers of VOI.ID.
