The ruling on shaving the beard and whether it is among the major sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
No practicing child says, "The East is the most severe, like Ali, I am innocent."
Answer:
Shaving the beard is a sin and forbidden, but it is not among the major sins unless one persists in it. They say that persisting in a minor sin turns it into a major one. If one persists in it and commits it openly, it may become a major sin. As you know, the criterion for a major sin is that a fixed punishment is prescribed for it in this world, or a threat of anger, a curse, or the Fire is made regarding it, or a threat in the Hereafter. These are the major sins. As for something that is merely prohibited, where no fixed punishment is prescribed for it, and no threat, anger, or curse is attached to it, but it is simply prohibited, this is forbidden or disliked. It is forbidden or disliked, and not a major sin. Not every forbidden thing is a major sin. Yes.
