Asalaamu Alikum wa rhamatuhallahi wa barakatuh Brothers,
I agree with you lifutushi. A Muslim should be clean and tidy. There is no reason you can not trim the hairs that are going crazy. You must keep yourself with a good apperance. My beard is getting longer again and I am doing just that, Alhamdulilah. The Prophet(SAW) would cut his beard after Hajj, whatever was more than a handfull. I know Brothers it will look scruffy while you grow it out, but in time you can trim it so it has a nice shape and look. You can't go around looking like captian caveman now can you! I believe that it is Wajib to grow a beard, that is only my opinion. The ahaddith are numerous in having a beard and trimming the moustache short. If you want to follow the Prophet(SAW) as best we can we should grow a beard as he told us to do. Look at the Sahabah, may Allah(SWT) be pleased with them, they would walk in the same footsteps as Rasululah(SAW) did. Insha'Allah I too will find some proofs for all. Take care my Brothers
Wa salaam,
Ahmed
