Fatwa CenterIbn Umar's shortening his beard
Question
My question (No. 277806) was about the authenticity of the following Hadeeth: "Abdullah Ibn Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, used to cut that portion (which exceeds the grip of the hand) of beard." [Tirmithi]
But, your reply referring to Fatwa No. 84474 is not the answer to my question. I wish to know if this particular Hadeeth is authentic, weak or very weak? Waiting for your reply.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
This narration [in question] is on Ibn Umar 
. Ibn Saalem Al-Muqaffa' 
said: "I saw Ibn Umar holding his beard and cutting what is beyond his fist." [Al-Bukhari, Ad-Daaraqutni, and Al-Haakim] Ad-Daaraqutni and Al-Albaani 
said that this is a sound narration, and Al-Haakim said that it is an authentic narration according to the conditions set by Al-Bukhari and Muslim .
Therefore, this narration does not descend less than the status of a sound narration.
Allaah Knows best.
