    مونچھیں رکھنا سنت نہیں ہے۔

    رسول اللہ ﷺ نے بڑی مونچھیں رکھنے سے منع کیا ہے،۔ یہ تکبر کی علامت ہیں۔ نیز، کھانے پینے میں ملوث ہو جاتی ہیں اور یہ کھانے پینے کے تزکیے کے خلاف ہے

      Are they symbol of arrogance for every time period?

      No. The society and cultural norm tells the symbols of arrogance.

      مونچھوں کو پست کرنا سنت ہے، انھیں رکھنا سنت نہیں چنانچہ اگر کوئی سرے سے نہ رکھے تو اسے رکھنے کا نہین کہا جائے گا۔

      @Irfan76

      It is often said that keeping a long moustache is a sign of arrogance or pride (takabbur). But I find this difficult to understand in today’s context. I don’t believe that simply having a long moustache makes a person arrogant, nor do I personally associate long moustaches with pride or superiority. When I see someone with a long moustache, I usually think it is a fashion choice or a personal style, not an expression of ego.

      Since arrogance is an inner attitude and depends on intention and behavior, not appearance alone, how should we understand this claim today? Is it correct to label a physical style as arrogance when social meanings have clearly changed and most people no longer interpret it that way?

      So if someone has moustache it’s obligatory on him to keep them lowered as they are from Sunnah otherwise that would result in sin?

    There are two aspects in not allowing large moustaches: Food to eat without involving a moustache, and to avoid a symbol of arrogance.

    If it is no longer a symbol of arrogance, the objection drops. But the first one still stands.

      @Irfan76

      From my understanding, a moustache itself is neutral. Hair is made of keratin and is not impure. The only possible issue is that hair is porous, so food can stick to it — but with normal daily hygiene, washing the face, and especially making wudu multiple times a day, this does not remain a problem.

      In that case, why is the moustache itself treated as an issue? If cleanliness is maintained and no food remains stuck, how does it become religiously objectionable or discouraged? Why would something neutral in itself be considered a problem when the practical concern can be easily addressed through hygiene?

      Washing face later does not change the fact that a big moustache gets involved with food that causes disgust.

    • Mahnoor Tariq

      Contributor January 30, 2026 at 6:10 am

      My confusion is about the criterion. You mentioned two reasons: arrogance and food getting involved. Arrogance is clearly context-based and intention-based. The food issue also seems context-based, because hygiene, habits, and even feelings of disgust differ from person to person. Disgust itself is a subjective human emotion, not an objective moral category—many people do not feel disgust at all if cleanliness is maintained.So my question is: does something become religiously disallowed simply because some people find it unpleasant, or is the ruling conditional on context and neglect of cleanliness? If both reasons are context-dependent, then how can the ruling be treated as a fixed “must-not” instead of guidance tied to circumstances?From what I understand, Islam generally gives principles and leaves their application to context, rather than declaring neutral things impermissible in all cases. So is the moustache issue meant to be advisory and contextual, or is it being treated as absolutely prohibited regardless of hygiene, intention, or culture?

      بڑی مونھچ نہ رکھنا اور بڑی مونچھ کو ناپسندیدہ سمجھنا مسلمانوں کے عمل میں موجود ہے۔ اس کا حوالہ حدیث میں بھی آ گیا ہے۔ یہ نہ بھی ہوتا تب بھی عملا مسلمان بڑی مونچھیں نہ رکھ رہے ہوتے۔
