Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on shaving the beard. Shaving the beard; you all know
Answer:
that it is forbidden. Why is it forbidden? Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to let the beard grow, to honor it, to leave it long, and to let it hang down. Disobeying the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is forbidden. Obedience to him is obligatory, and disobeying his command is a sin. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hashr 59:7] He said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:92] Obedience to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is obligatory, and he commanded to let the beard grow, to honor it, and to leave it long. So why do we disobey his command (peace and blessings be upon him) and follow the customs of people? Even if someone forced you and compelled you to shave your beard, do not obey him. There is no obedience to a created being in the disobedience of the Creator (Exalted and Majestic is He).

وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُواAnd obey Allah and obey the Messenger
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ
