Salaamu alaiykum Are people still going to deny that this is not turning into a madhab-salafi debate? And on top of that, I feel as if I am the one who is actively engaging in it and causing it to grow? Abu Tamim, I was actually trying to look for the part where you would hopefully say: "And keeping the beard straight by cutting the sticking out parts is/ is not a sunnah" but I guess I was wrong. Please, if you want to turn this thread into a debate on fiqh and usool (which I have no idea what they even are let alone can speak on them, so please don't force me to involve myself - I just try and remain on a simple understanding, which is following the salaf-e-salih (now don't make that another source of debate)) then first answer whether it is allowed or not to straighten it - does it fall under keeping oneself look good according to sunnah, or not letting it grow?
