Will men in Paradise be beardless?
I read on a website that men in Paradise will have mustache but not beard, is that true? Will you please clarify this issue?

Dear Brother / Sister,
There is a hadith narration that the people of Paradise are beardless, that their bodies are hairless, their hair is curly, their skin is white, and their age is 30/33. (1)
This hadith narration is sound. (2)
Tirmidhi states that it is hasan. (3)
This are many reasons for it. One of them could be as follows:
Beard is a sign of dignity, adornment, and majesty for men. Since the faces of women in the world are a place of istimta and taqbil (making love and kissing), divine wisdom did not create beards on their faces.
In Paradise, men, like women, are a place of satisfaction of lustful feelings. It is more suitable for men to be beardless and have fair skin, and their adornment and beauty to shine openly. (4)
