The Shaykh’s remarks on the hadith: “O people, no soul will die until it has completed its provision and its term…”

The questioner : .

The Shaykh : Yes, but what is the beginning of the hadith?

The questioner : .

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner :

The Shaykh : No, no, it is in it: but only the first part of it?

The questioner :

The Shaykh : Yes: .

Another questioner It is the same one.

The Shaykh Yes, indeed, this is correct: “Be beautiful in your seeking,” meaning: take the beautiful, prescribed path to acquire wealth through lawful means. And the noble verse says: So cooperating in sin and aggression, merely dealing in sin and aggression is a sin. So if one exploits this sin and earns from it, that is misguidance upon misguidance. To put it more clearly, if it is known to us that shaving the beard is forbidden by the Shari'ah, and a person comes and shaves his beard, this is cooperation with him in evil, not in what is right. There is no doubt that he did not cooperate with him in righteousness and piety. On top of his cooperation with him in evil, he takes a wage for it. So this is misguidance upon misguidance. So this earning is undoubtedly forbidden. And a person should not hesitate at all in this matter, because the preceding verse says: The Messenger (peace be upon him) gave an interpretation of it with some examples. So he says, for example, in the authentic hadith: Why? Because they cooperated in evil.
And he said in another hadith: The first one is the drinker. Then he explained that the rest are all included because they were the cause of this drinker drinking the intoxicant. Without them, this drinker would not have done it at all. And so on, all of them were cursed because they were helpers in facilitating the path for this perpetrator of this evil. And so, all matters that contradict the Shari'ah fall under the generality of this verse and the indication of these specific hadiths. So if it is an evil act for a man to shave his brother's beard, it is even more evil to take a wage for this sin.
