قَالَ يَحْيَى : وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ : يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الشَّارِبِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ طَرَفُ الشَّفَةِ وَهُوَ الْإِطَارُ، وَلَا يَجُزُّهُ فَيُمَثِّلُ بِنَفْسِهِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the moustache should be trimmed so much that the edges of the lips become visible, but it should not be trimmed off completely.
