Ruling on shaving part of the beard due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A man had surgery on his jaw, which forced him to shave the right side of his beard. Is it permissible for him to shave the left side of his beard after the surgery, given that there is disfigurement?
It is not permissible for the sake of making it even. If people know the effect of the operation, they will excuse him. This is with regard to people. But with regard to the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, He is All-Knowing, so he should leave it. And, if Allah wills, the one who shaved today will not pass a month without his growth being complete.
