The Ruling on Shaving the Beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Is the one who shaves his beard a creator? And what is the ruling on praying behind him?
Answer:
Shaving the beard is forbidden, but it is not a major sin; it is not among the major sins, but rather among the sins that are not major. However, if he persists in it and says, "There is no harm in it, and it is permissible," it becomes a major sin, may Allah protect us from that.
