    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1376/224/=L/1429)

     

    It is permitted to shave moustache, the word (jazzu) mentioned in Hadith mean: cutting off, while the other word (uHfu) in Hadith means: trimming moustache closer to shaving. Therefore, it is better to trim down moustache closer to shaving.
