Shaving the Beard: Is It Forbidden Like the Commission of Immoral Deeds?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 6530 )
Q2: I read your fatwa that shaving the beard is forbidden. Is it forbidden in the same way as the commission of immoral deeds?
A2: Persisting in shaving the beard is a major sin, and fornication, sodomy, and the like are major sins. Each has its own degree of criminality, and it is Allah who determines the degree of crime for each of them, for He is the One who knows the degree of evil in each. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
