Question:
He says: We are in a country that opposes the beard and the lower garment, and whoever holds fast to this sunnah (recommended practice) is exposed to harm, imprisonment, and torture. Is it permissible for us to shave the beard?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to disobey the Creator for the sake of obeying the created. However, you must be patient. What befalls you is a reward for you with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). You must be patient, seek reward, and hold fast to the sunnah.
