What is the judgment for growing a goatee? Is it haram to grow it due to a personal choice?
A Brief Description of the Question:
What is the judgment for growing a goatee? Is it haram to grow it due to a personal choice?
The Answer:
It is permissible to grow a goatee. However, it is not a sunnah. That is, it is not an application of the Prophet.
When we examine the life of our Prophet, we see that he prohibited Muslims from resembling others even in the small attitudes and acts. (Abu Dawud, Libas 4; Musnad, II/50; Tirmidhi, Isti'dhan 7) Maybe, the truth that is expressed as “a person who starts to resemble someone or some people in terms of his appearance will resemble them in terms of his heart” based on the meaning of those hadiths is accepted by the science of psychology today. Therefore, it is not appropriate to tolerate that kind of beard. However, if a person grows a goatee due to a reasonable reason, nobody should criticize it. However, that reason can be determined by people who are expert in fiqh.
