The Ruling on Opening a Barbershop
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about the ruling on opening a barbershop.
Answer:
Shaving is permissible if it is of what Allah has permitted. Shaving the head is permissible; shaving the head is permissible. As for forbidden shaving, such as shaving the beard, that is forbidden shaving. So there is permissible shaving, which is shaving the head for a man, and forbidden shaving, which is shaving the beard for a man, or cutting a woman’s hair into styles and layers and the like. This is forbidden. So if the barbershop will restrict itself to what is permissible, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it will perform the forbidden shaving for men, and what they call hairdressing for women, that is forbidden shaving. It is an abomination that must be prevented. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
