Questioner: We’ve heard that you say that letting the beard flow is just like letting the garments hang below the ankles?

Al-Albaani: Yes.

Questioner: That is your stance?

Al-Albaani: Yes.

Questioner: That means that whatever is in excess of a fistful is haraam?

Al-Albaani: We’ve spoken about that before.

Questioner: That it is haraam to let the beard flow in excess of a fistful?
