salaam all, could you please inform me about a dawah group who come from karachi, pakistan, called dawati islami. They say they go on jamaat, where green coloured imamas and stress the following of the Sunnah, are they tableeghi jamaat? Also i know the beard has to be a fist lenght but are you allowed to trim under the chin, i beleive its called khut.
Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)
1) The Dawat Islami are Mubtadi' (innovators) and not from the Tableegh Jama'at.
2) To trim the hair on the throat, there is a difference of opinion between the Hanafi Fuqaha as to whether one can remove it or otherwise.
Imam Ibn Abidin (Allah have mercy on him) states:
�One should not shave the hair from one�s throat. However, it is narrated from Imam Abu Yusuf (RH) that there is nothing wrong in it.� (Radd al-Muhtar, 6/407, the same has been mentioned in al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya, 5/358)
Therefore, it will be permitted for one to remove hair which grows on the throat under the chin, for it is not considered to be part of the beard, as beard is that which grows on the jawbone.
