What is the ruling on joining the army while shaving the beard?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, may Allah grant you well-being.

The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you.

The questioner : How are you, my master?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.

The questioner : My master, turning to the people of religion is a mercy in this world from Allah, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills.

The questioner : My master, I want to present this situation to you.

The Shaykh : Your son? Your son, yes. My son, my son. Yes, please go ahead. I have a son, praise be to Allah, Allah has opened his heart to the religion. What Allah willed. He has been praying since he was small. What Allah willed. And he is strong and everything, so he joined the armed forces. The armed forces require that the beard be shaved, so the boy refused to join the armed forces because of the beard. The army has an imam, a mufti, a mosque, and everything; the matters of religion are prepared, I mean. And if one breaks the fast in Ramadan, the person is held accountable before the commander of his unit; he is held accountable if he refuses. And regarding prayer, it is the right of the imam to continue following what he is praying until he fulfills the command of Allah and prays. If Allah wills. And I know, my master, the Shaykh, your opinion on this situation. I have not yet completed the picture in my mind, I mean, he is not satisfied either, so it becomes that there is no mu'adhdhin and no imam just to preserve his beard, my master, he is praying. Answer me, may Allah guide you. Yes, no, no, there is nothing, there is nothing, it is not a job that is isolated. A mu'adhdhin job is not his, an imam job is not his, why? Because he is in the first year of secondary school. So what is the benefit? I gave him a lecture and told him there is an imamah and there is harm and so on, as long as he is correct, you tell me, give me the conclusion, what is it that he is correct about? That he goes to civil defense. He joins civil defense and they allow him to keep his beard. They are coming to tell him about the salary. Well, the best of speech is what is not said, and he is not satisfied. The project of the Iyads. And I say, may Allah give him health, and may Allah keep it for you. May Allah preserve you. And may He increase him in righteousness and piety. So do you want him to disobey his Lord and obey his commander so that his beard is allowed? Prayer is available. You did not answer. We are here. You did not answer me, may Allah guide you. No, no, of course. What do you mean, of course? I mean, of course, I want to support your matters that he does not disobey Allah, that he does not disobey Allah in His command, my dear, I am asking you, do you want him to shave his beard? Say no, say yes, what do you want so that I can understand you and you can understand me? I am saying that because of his work, he is completing his religion, what he guards, he puts, he passes. May Allah guide you. I mean, from the age that does not mean it does not affect him, his beard is not lacking. May Allah guide you, O man, can you introduce yourself? Let us see, my name is Saud 'Abdullah Khalid al-Dahbasha. Saud 'Abdullah. Khalid al-Dramsha. Where do you live? You eat in al-Zulqa, my master. In al-Zarqa. Yes, and I have three tapes, I listen to them every day. Yes, may Allah reward you with good. Yes, if the tapes are with me and I listen to them, and they are also available, I will listen to them with you. And O our brother, Saud. My master. May Allah make you happy in this world and the Hereafter. Amen, we are with you, my master. Keep taking and giving with me until we reach the truth. Yes, my master. Now your son has mandatory service and they want to shave his beard, and he is refusing, so do you want him not to refuse and to shave his beard? I do not know if he refuses. So what do you want from him? He wants to complete his job, but on the condition that he remains consistent in his religion, in his prayer, in his fasting, in the purity of his private parts, in the purity of his mouth, in the purity of his hands, in the purity of his food, everything. Yes, the whole lecture is for what? Is not the beard from the religion? From the Sunnah, yes. It is not a matter of the religion. Yes. And why do you not want him to hold fast to this religion? And he is holding fast to the religion, but this. May Allah guide you, O Saud, O Saud, may Allah guide you. Sami. I am asking you, is it from the religion or not? Did you say yes? I say, my master. I am asking you, why do you not want him to hold fast to this religion, I mean to this beard, why do you not want him to hold fast? My master, may Allah keep you in goodness. May He keep you in goodness. The Islamic armies existing around us, around the Mediterranean, from Syria to Lebanon to Iraq to Jordan to all the Arab countries. Here. Whose fault is it if these armies are like this? If all of them were refusing now, whose fault would it be? These armies. Definition of honor. We call for them on the pulpits, saying, O Allah, support them, unite them, and strengthen them against their enemy. They need to be strengthened, these people, as long as they are contrary to the command of the religion. But you omitted the call, you did not say they will also say, and reform them, and reform them. Yes, you did not say it. Well, will it not come out for him, with this call, that he exposes them? May Allah expose everyone, and may it be that one day the head of state or this king or the president of the republic says to the army to release its beard, is not Iraq yesterday Ba'athist? May Allah guide you, O Saud. Forgive me. It is not Ba'athist, it is still Ba'athist. But when they raised the word Allahu Akbar on the flag, did we not say it is, praise be to Allah, the first path of faith? Yes, did you see the result of faith, what happened? It is possible that after a period they will take a lesson from the things that happened, and also that they will advance in religion. Yes, and it is also possible that Bush will fly away from the Muslims. Yes. And it is also possible that Bush will become a Muslim. It is possible that the disbeliever also becomes a believer, it is possible. What do we want with the possible? We want the present, the present is your son holding fast to the religion, holding fast to the religion, I mean, we have the Arab army, one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. May Allah guide you, may Allah guide you. They are coming out with the order of the president. May Allah guide you, guide you, you and the army. Yes. Yes, and that is all. Well, the thing is, I mean, Shaykh Nuh. Your son. The truth is that the Jordanian army is not permissible except that it issues the greatest, he is a man of religion. Yes, you. Doctor. Do you prefer to speak with Shaykh Nuh as you are speaking with Shaykh al-Albani? No, I can speak with him. Yes. I can. Listen, you can say to him, O Shaykh Nuh, you say that your army is a Mustafawi army. So why do you order them to shave their beards, and it is from the Sunnah of the Mustapha? No, tomorrow. Give me the answer later, and my advice to you is to be with your righteous son. I am with them, I am telling you, praise be to Allah, our Lord, may He guide you. May Allah guide you. Praise be to Allah. May Allah guide you. My son is a believer. May Allah guide you, be with your believing son who holds fast to his beard, and do not be against him so that you disobey your Lord. You, now, O Saud, did you shave your beard? How are you, O uncle? And are you a soldier? Honestly, for itself, no, I am not a soldier. Yes, what made you shave it, and why are you not like your son? I have no beard, I shaved it, first of all, I pray, I pray with voice. What Allah willed, what Allah willed. The prohibitions of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, which He prohibited for me. No, it is not correct. Yes. It is not correct because of the state of your beard. There is a Nasr and a smaller one, my master. Now you want to ask us and teach us. No. And do you not want to learn from us? I am telling you, you are disobeying your Lord by shaving your beard, you must know this truth, especially since you do not have a beard like your son, he has to do mandatory military service, and they want to shave his beard against his will, why did you shave your beard and not fear your Lord? I fear Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Peace be upon you. Hello. O Allah. Do you want to preserve, O professor, on.
