The ruling on shortening the beard out of fear of harm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a young man who came to work in the Kingdom, and I have kept my beard, praise be to Allah. However, when I return to my country, they are strict with us regarding the beard specifically. Is it permissible for me to shorten it when I go down, just a slight shortening?
Answer:
First, be patient with your religion and be patient with the Sunnah. Be patient with it, and do not let the harm that befalls you from people cause you to transgress against people. People do not harm you at all, and if harm comes to you, it is in the path of Allah. Be patient with it and do not compromise on anything of your religion to please them. Yes.
