Question:
Is shaving the beard one of the major sins?
Answer:
Letting the beard grow is forbidden without a doubt, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that it be left long and not touched, and a command indicates obligation. Therefore, shaving it is forbidden because it is a violation of the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). If a person persists in it and does not repent to Allah, the matter develops and becomes one of the major sins, because a minor sin, when persisted in and made habitual, becomes a major sin.
