Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In His saying, the Exalted,[As-Saf 61:3], he asks: If I am one who shaves my beard and I see someone who shaves his, should I rebuke him and make it clear that it is forbidden, despite my own shaving of my beard? Or should I remain silent and not rebuke him? This is mixed with his saying, the Exalted: "Great is the aversion of it to Allah."
Answer:
You should rebuke him and yourself. You should rebuke yourself first, then rebuke him. You should repent to Allah and order him to repent. Yes.
