Is it permissible to shave one's beard in government institutions that order it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on shaving the beard in government institutions where they order the security personnel to shave their beards?

Answer:
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق،
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
Therefore, it is not permissible to obey a created being in shaving the beard, because it is a sin, so this is not permissible.
