How big was the Prophet's beard?

Published in Islamic History 1 min read

The Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) beard was neither long nor short, but thick, and reached down to the lower part of his throat.

While there isn't a specific measurement in inches or centimeters available in the readily accessible texts, the description offers a general idea of its length and fullness.

  • Length: It extended to the lower part of his throat.
  • Thickness: It was described as thick.
  • Overall Description: It was considered to be of moderate length – "neither long nor short."

Therefore, the beard was not excessively long, nor was it a short, trimmed beard. It was full and reached a point somewhere around the upper chest area.
