[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to trim the eyebrows and ear hair, and not to shave the mustache or cut the hair on the temples. The "muqabilah" refers to cutting the edge of the ear, and "mudabarah" refers to cutting the side of the ear. "Shurqaa" refers to an ear that is split, and "kharqaa" refers to an ear that is pierced with a hole. Abu Nasr 'Umar bin Abd al-'Aziz bin 'Umar bin Qatadah informed us, who was informed by Abu al-Hasan Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Ahmad bin Isma'il al-Surraj, who narrated from Abu Shu'aib al-Harrani, who was informed by Ahmed bin Abd al-Malik bin Waqid al-Harrani, who was informed by Zuheir, who was informed by Abu Ishaq, who said that he was a truthful man and mentioned it in a similar way. He also mentioned that we should not shave the pubic hair. Zuheir asked Abu Ishaq and mentioned "Adbaa" (hair in the armpits). He asked, "What is muqabilah?" Abu Ishaq replied, "Cutting the edge of the ear." He asked, "What is mudabarah?" He replied, "Cutting the back of the ear." He asked, "What is shurqaa?" He replied, "Splitting the ear." He asked, "What is kharqaa?" He replied, "Piercing a hole in the ear."
