Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on shaving the beard in countries where military conscription is mandatory, and one is required to shave it for a specific period? Is doing so permissible?
Answer:
No, he does not obey them in disobedience to Allah. Rather, he keeps his beard if they are willing to conscript him with a beard; otherwise, he does not obey them in disobedience to Allah, ever. Yes.
