Is a man allowed to shave his mostache as it comes in hadith that one should grow ones beard and cut his mostache so does shaving go under cutting? explain please.
Answer
(Fatwa: 1376/224/=L/1429)
It is permitted to shave moustache, the word (jazzu) mentioned in Hadith mean: cutting off, while the other word (uHfu) in Hadith means: trimming moustache closer to shaving. Therefore, it is better to trim down moustache closer to shaving.
