Peyot

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

If your question is what length must your Peyot (sideburns) be, the answer is as follows. One cannot use a razor anywhere on the sideburns down to the bottom of the ear. Beyond that he cannot use a razor, because of the beard area. If he is using an electric trimmer, shaver, or a pair of scissors, even if it is a very close shave, it is OK as long as there are a few rows of hairs on the sideburns remaining, even if they're very short. The example used is that if you put a bowl on your head that covered your hair, your sideburns should stick out a few rows of hair from that. AA
