Question:
Is it permissible to shave the beard out of fear for one's life?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to shave the beard. It is not permissible to commit a sin for the sake of any of your objectives, to obtain it. This is not permissible; you do not disobey Allah in order to obtain any of the objectives of this world. And it is well known that shaving the beard is not right either. One does not reach worship through disobedience, nor even a permissible thing is reached through disobedience.
