Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the money of a barber who shaves beards and shaves the head, and who abandons the prayer? What is the ruling on his money? And if he invites us to a feast, do we accept the invitation?
Answer:
His abandoning of the prayer is greater than shaving the beards. However, taking money for shaving beards is forbidden, so he is combining disbelief, which is abandoning the prayer, with forbidden money. If all his earnings are from shaving beards, do not eat from his food. But if he has lawful earnings and forbidden earnings, there is no harm in eating from his food, because it is not established that this food is from the forbidden money. The default is permissibility. However, if all his money is from shaving beards, it is forbidden, so do not eat from it. Yes.
