Is it permissible for some committed Egyptian brothers residing in Jordan to shave their beards when they enter Egypt on the grounds that the Egyptian government is strict with them?

The questioner : The other question, O our Shaykh, is that it has become common these days regarding our Egyptian brothers who have spent a period in Jordan and wish to go visit their relatives and their wives. They are committed to the Sunnah regarding the beard. They say that the Egyptian government is currently tightening its grip on those who grow beards. Do they have a dispensation to shave them and then let them grow when they return?

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : Is there anything else?

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.

The questioner : Abu Ayyub, did he speak with you, O our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : No, unfortunately, he did not speak with me.

The questioner : It seems he tried to call, but the line was empty. However, I can ask his question.

The Shaykh : It seems to me that he did not have the patience to wait for us.

The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : It seems to me that he did not have the patience to wait for us.

The questioner : Yes, it seems so.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is the same.
