The culture of keeping beards existed even before Islam came. Later in the prophetic period, the Prophet ordered Muslim men to shorten their mustaches and keep beards to contrast the customs of the Magi. Scholars have different views on the hadith of the Prophet, some understand it textually such as Nasir Al-Din Al-Albani, Abu Muhammad bin Hazm, Abdul Aziz bin Baz and some understand it contextually, such as Al-Syarbasi, Al-Qaradawi, and Shuhudi Ismail. For those who understand the hadith textually to this day, they shorten their mustaches and keep their beards. Some scientists conduct research on mustache and beard from a health perspective.
