Using a Hair Clipper
Question
Hello,
Is it permissible to use a hair clipper on a weekday without its combs (i.e., with the blades only) to trim certain areas like the mustache and the lower part of the hair on the sides of the neck to straighten it?
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to shave the mustache as desired.
In areas where shaving the beard is prohibited, it is permissible to use any machine, but only when the machine is placed on the skin with its standing part, not with the moving blade.
