Is it permissible to trim the beard in order to obtain a job that I urgently need?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a young man, about thirty years old, who is unemployed. I have held a high degree in the field of disease medicine for five years. I am the eldest of my brothers and have not yet secured a job. A friend offered me work in my field, but on the condition that I trim my beard. The situation in our place is that one is held accountable for growing the beard. What is your ruling, Honorable Shaykh, regarding my situation?

Answer:
What is the connection between the beard and work? The beard has no connection to work. This is hypocrisy. Does he say this to you? This is evidence of his hypocrisy, so do not obey him. This is disobedience, and there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Provision is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), . So if you find work without committing a sin, accept it. If you do not find work except by committing a sin, do not accept it. What is with Allah is better and more abundant.
