    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 862/880/N=08/1437)

    The hair which grow on cheeks along with beard are not the hair of beard as per the Shariah. Hence it is correct to remove them with tweezers. However if the hair of cheek are not too much then it is better not to remove them. (Fatawa Mahmoodia: 19: 441,442, Question: 9414, 9438, pub.: Idara Siddiq, Dhabel).

     

    أما الأشعار التى على الخدين فليست من اللحية لغة وإن كره الفقهاء أخذها؛ لأنه إن كان بالحديد فذلك يوجب الخشونة فى الخدين ، وإن كان بالنتف فإنه يضعف البصر (فيض الباري، كتاب اللباس، باب قص الشارب 4: 380)
